Torre de Xunqueiras, Medieval tower in As Xunqueiras, Spain
The Torre de Xunqueiras features a homage tower with solid defensive walls, complemented by a Renaissance cloister and a French-style garden.
Built in the 13th century by Fernán Martín de Xunqueiras, the tower underwent reconstruction after the Irmandiña Revolt in the 15th century.
The tower maintains connections with playwright Valle-Inclán, who found inspiration here for settings in his literary works, including Sonata de Otoño.
Visitors can rent rooms or an independent suite within the tower complex, which includes modern amenities such as heating and satellite television.
The property includes a 16th-century cloister with semicircular arches and columns, leading to a circular turret transformed into an observation deck.
