Tower of Arcos

Monument · Chantada, Chantada, Lugo

Medieval seigneurial tower at the place of A Torre, in the parish of Arcos, declared a Ben de Interese Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) by the blanket decree of 17 October 1994. It still stands, although in a ruinous state, above the Asma valley and dominating the road towards the bank of the Miño; it is one of the four catalogued fortifications of the concello, along with those of Vilaúxe, Pereira and the fortress of the same name.
