Almedina Tower (Torre de Almedina)


This was built above the Almedina Arch, probably at the time of Dom Sesnando (11th century), and modified many times over the centuries. Its function was to keep watch and to defend the main access to the city within the walls, and it was also the headquarters of municipal and judicial power. Nowadays it houses the Centre of the Walled City, an interpretation centre recounting the history of the medieval city and its wall.
