Torre de Vilar, Medieval castle in Vilar do Torno e Alentém, Portugal
The five-story granite tower features Romanesque arrow slits and stands as a residential fortification in the Sousa Valley region.
The Torre de Vilar was constructed between the second half of the 13th century and early 14th century by the Riba Vizela family.
The tower represents the noble power over the Sousa Valley territory and functions as evidence of a fortified manor house.
Visits to the tower are available from Wednesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 13:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, requiring guide accompaniment.
The tower sits within a 5.5-hectare park developed in 2009, featuring walking paths lined with oak, poplar, walnut, and fruit trees.
