Torre de San Sadurniño, Medieval defensive tower in Cambados, Spain.
The Torre de San Sadurniño stands with remaining stone walls constructed of massive granite blocks, displaying medieval military architecture with a preserved chimney.
The tower was built in the late 15th century as a residence for the descendants of Sueiro Gomes de Soutomaior, lord of the village and port.
The structure represents the power dynamics of medieval Galician nobility and their influence on coastal defense systems throughout the region of Pontevedra.
Visitors can reach the tower ruins by following marked paths from Cambados center, with information panels explaining the structure's historical significance.
Archaeological excavations near the tower revealed evidence of an ancient chapel dedicated to San Sadurniño and San Tomé on the same islet.
