Torre de Quintela, Medieval fortified tower in Vila Marim, Portugal.
The Torre de Quintela stands as a square stone tower with corner ramparts and windows added during the fourteenth century modifications.
Built in the thirteenth century, this defensive structure formed part of the regional protection network established under King John II's reign.
The tower and adjacent Casa de Quintela demonstrate the evolution of Portuguese military architecture through their preserved medieval construction techniques.
Visitors can reach the tower by car from multiple cities, though parking space near the structure remains limited.
The structure maintains its original thirteenth-century foundation while incorporating architectural elements from subsequent centuries of modifications.
