An imposing C14 fortified manor house stands at the end of the village and shares a wall with a contemporary building. It has been impressively restored inside with wooden stairs and floors. There's also a art mini gallery, with pictures and sculptures created by local artists. There's a Tourist Information Centre next to the tower but it looks closed for good. A kind lady from the house on the right of the entrance gate opened the Torre for me and showed me around. Obrigado :)
