Torre de Anto, Medieval fortified tower in Coimbra, Portugal.
The stone tower features four floors connected by a spiral staircase, with arched entrance doors and windows on its square-shaped exterior.
Initially constructed as part of Coimbra's medieval defensive walls, the tower changed its function to residential housing during the first half of the 16th century.
Portuguese poet Antonio Nobre resided in this tower during his student years in the late 19th century, leading to its current name.
The tower houses an art gallery displaying artifacts and can be accessed through Rua de Sub-Ripas in central Coimbra.
The structure maintains its original stone exterior and incorporates architectural elements from both military and residential Portuguese building traditions.
