Also known as Belém Tower of Minho, the tower is all that is left of the small fortress built by D. Afonso Henriques around 1130. Most of the fortress was largely deconstructed in the early 18th century and the stone moved to Monção for the construction and fortification of the forteleza there. The tower is open to the public for tours and has literature in several languages. Laast time i visited the guide spoke English, Spanish and some French and was most helpful.
