Monuments

Standing in isolation atop a 192-metre high hill, close to the Estrada Nacional 258, roughly 3 kilometres from the town of Moura, is this curious example of 14th-century military architecture.

Built in the 14th century, this 12-metre high round tower, together with three other towers (Porto de Mourão, Coutada and Alvarinho) formed the first line of surveillance and defence against invasion by Castilian armies, centred upon the castle at Moura
