Torres de Mens, Medieval castle in Malpica de Bergantiños, Spain.
The castle features three rectangular stone towers reaching twelve meters in height, with pointed arch doorways and windows encircled by double walls.
Built in the 15th century, the fortress belonged to the Counts of Altamira until 1455 when it passed to Lope Sánchez de Ulloa y Moscoso.
The castle received the Europa Nostra award in 1993 for its restoration efforts, recognizing the preservation of its architectural heritage.
The Torres de Mens remains a private residence, currently owned by Agustín Ordoñez, whose family acquired the property in the 19th century.
Local traditions tell of underground tunnels connecting the castle to Santiago de Mens Church and the Furna Travesa on Ceiruga beach.
