Torres da Muralha Fernandina, Medieval fortification towers in Porto, Portugal.
The Fernandine Wall towers form a defensive structure stretching across Porto, incorporating multiple gates and battlements spanning several neighborhoods.
Construction of these fortification towers occurred between 1336 and 1376 during King Ferdinand I's reign to protect Porto from invasions and raids.
The remaining sections of these medieval towers demonstrate the architectural and engineering capabilities of 14th-century Portuguese military construction methods.
Visitors can access the preserved sections of the towers near the Ribeira district from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with tickets available at entrance points.
An inscription dated 1348 remains visible above the Postigo do Carvão gate, marking one of the few surviving original architectural elements.
