The Portal de Valldigna was a gateway to the Moorish quarter of Valencia, which opened in the old Muslim wall, in 1400.
Muslims who had remained after the conquest of Valencia outside the walls of the wall that they had built were established. Then in 1356, another wall (Christian) which included Morería in the precincts of the city was built. the old Muslim wall was not demolished, thus counting the city with two defensive fences. Little by little he fell down, although in the eighteenth century there were still numerous remains of the Muslim wall.
