Due to its complexity and long years of construction, it was successively directed by several master builders; the first being Andreu Juliá [es], from 1381.

Originally it was a separate tower, and it was joined to the Cathedral at the end of the 15th century when the central nave was extended.

It has access through an angular portal adorned with archivolts and a passage covered with curious ribbed turns.

The octagonal tower measures 50.85 m, its perimeter being equal to its height, with external decoration of diagonal buttresses on the corners and the fine moldings that indicate the different levels of the floors.

In 1425 the tower was already completed to the terrace, but the spire project conceived by Antonio Dalmau was not continued.

The last bell-ringer who lived in the Miguelete Tower was Mariano Folch, who was in charge of the bells for more than sixty years and who died around 1905.

[citation needed] In 1940, the original set of eleven bells (six small and five large) had been altered with the addition of Eloy, a bell from the Santa Catalina Church tower, which at that time was about to become an icon in the middle of a prolonged Avenida de la Paz and the beginning of what would become the Plaza de la Reina.

The electrification, carried out by The Roses Brothers of Adzaneta de Albaida, regardless of the original characteristics, consisted of the mechanization of six bells: two trebles, one of the medium ones, Barbara, and the three minor of the large ones (Vicente, Andrés and Jaime).

However, the limitations of the mechanization became evident when the Valencia Bell Tower Guild was commissioned to play for the 1988 Corpus Christi procession.

The rooms have been equipped with new electric wiring and new barred doors that allow visitors to see the interior even if closed.

Electronic mechanisms for daily and automatic ringing have been replaced twice due to the rapid evolution of technology.

[citation needed] The Cathedral of Valencia has three sets of bells, differentiated by their use, and therefore located in different places.

The peals, the most creative and ancient touch of the Cathedral, which sounded no less than two hundred times a year, was stopped and faded from collective memory.

In the first years of the performances of the Valencian Bell Towers Guild some of the peals were still automatic, since four of the electrified ones retained their engines.

However, after the great restoration of 1992, only Barbara's flip impulse engine, the bell that warns the daily choir, was left.

Thus, the announcement peals of the feast day from the day before at noon have disappeared (except for the festivities of the Virgin of the Forsaken and Corpus Christi) since the current bell ringers, volunteers, have work or study obligations, and live far from the historic center (which is more and more depopulated).

The management of the tower, except for visits to the bell room, is carried out by staff of the Cathedral Chapter.
