Unos graffiti inéditos en las torres de Quart de Valencia

During restoration of the Torres de Quart in Valencia (15th C.) some puzzling yet very beautiful graffiti were discovered. They consist of a set of drawings containing motifs commonly found in other medieval defensive buildings: architectural features, crosses, letters, floral motifs, etc. But what makes these so striking is the naturalism of the zoomorphic representations, with scenes of fish and shoals of fish in a very engaging style. We discuss the possible interpretation of these graffiti and why they appear on the southernmost entranceway to the city, against the cultural backdrop and customs of a post-medieval Valencia.
