Real Estates in Torres Vedras Portugal
Nestling on the south-western edge of Serra de Montejunto, Torres Vedras was a royal residence from the mid-13th to the early 16th century.
Previously inhabited by Celts, Visigoths, Romans and the Moors, the town is best known for its light, refreshing wines and the Lines of Torres Vedras, a network of fortified defences built by the Duke of Wellington in 1809 to repel Napoleon's troops during the Peninsula War. When complete, over 600 guns and 152 masonry forts lay along two lines stretching from the sea to the River Tagus. The French troops eventually retreated to Spain in 1811.
What to see. Traces of trenches and bastions are still visible near the restored fort of São Vicente in the north of the town. In the centrally-located Largo de São Pedro, winged dragons enliven the Manueline portal of the church of São Pedro, which was rebuilt in the 16th century. The interior features interesting 18th-century azulejo glazed tiles and the tomb of João Lopes Perestelo, who accompanied Vasco da Gama on his epic pioneering voyage to India in 1497. The monastery church of the Convento de Graça contains an impressive 17th-century gilded altarpiece, while the main building houses a museum displaying Peninsular War memorabilia.
Nearby. At Varatojo, 4 km west of Torres Vedras, the old convent of Santo António is worth seeing for its Gothic cloister and sacristy lined with 17th-century azulejo glazed tiles. 3 km east lies the prehistoric fortifications of Castro do Zambujal. The spa waters of Vimeiro, a few kilometres north-west of Torres Vedras, are recommended for kidney diseases, digestive problems and some skin ailments.
