Torre de Vasconcelos, Medieval fortified tower in Ferreiros Prozelo e Besteiros, Portugal
The Torre de Vasconcelos stands on elevated terrain overlooking the Barrio stream, featuring a quadrangular layout with an original portal still visible today.
The tower was constructed in the mid-13th century by brothers Pero Anes de Vasconcelos and Rodrigo Anes de Vasconcelos as part of their noble estate.
Portuguese poet Sá de Miranda resided in this structure during the 16th century, adding literary significance to its architectural importance.
The site received classification as a Property of Public Interest in 1948, making it a protected historical monument within the Braga District.
The structure follows the domus fortis design, combining residential quarters with defensive capabilities through its rectangular annexes and ogival arch doorway.
