This tower is the last remnant of a fortress that once dominated the landscape of Vilanova dos Infantes. Its silhouette cuts against the sky, offering a window into the region’s medieval past.
Built in the 12th century, this tower was part of a defensive network that protected the region from incursions and internal conflicts. The structure, with its square plan and robust granite construction, stands as a testament to the feudal power that once existed in the area. During the Irmandiño revolts of the 15th century, the tower was damaged but remained standing as a symbol of lordly power. Today, it is part of the cultural landscape of Vilanova dos Infantes, offering visitors a glimpse into Galicia’s medieval history.
