Both towers are classified as buildings of "public interest," as is the wall connecting them, the Tower of Cadeia Velha and the Tower of S. Paulo (once also known as the Tower of S. Paulo). They are the most prominent witnesses to what remains of the old wall of Ponte de Lima, which, in addition to the walled structure, consisted of towers and doors, a group of buildings built during the reign of Pedro I in the 14th century.

The Tower of Cadeia Velha, converted into a prison in the 16th century (reign of Manuel I), now houses the Loja do Turismo (Tourism Shop) and many temporary art exhibitions.
