Arch of the Turret in Saidia

The Arc de la Torreta, in Saïdia, is located at the beginning of Visitació street from the outer ring road, or Paseo de la Saïdia and Guadalaviar, surrounded by the square or roundabout in which the street of the Poeta Monmeneu also converges. The monument has been raised since the 40s, consisting of a three-center arch about four or five meters high and with the same measure wide, of red brick with a lot of canvas. It has a cornice formed by the edge of several rows of bricks with a bordon in the center of it, and four rectangular base and elevation battlements. Its finish, located on an extradose rectum, is pyramidal in shape, of Islamo-Hispanic tradition. On the left is a blue on white socarrat, by J. de Scals, which reads “Zoco from the Arch of the Turret. Tents.” While on the right there is an irregular part of the wall into which this gate was introduced, a brief vestige of Mudejar Valencia.
