    The keep, rebuilt and used as an exhibition hall, houses a museum with period furniture donated by the doctor Juan López Suárez.

    The Keep,
    It receives this name for its usefulness, in addition to being used as a defense...
    This was the Count's enclosure to
    pay him homage or pay him homage... Rite that united
    the lord with his vassal.

    The Gate of the Keep in Monforte de Lemos is not a stand-alone gate, but rather forms part of the elevated access to the Keep, the most emblematic element of the Castle of San Vicente.
    The tower and its gate were damaged during the Great Irmandiña War (1467–1469), but were later rebuilt. Today, it is one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture in Galicia.
