Castelo de Torres Novas
Castle built during the reign of Dom Sancho I, under the ruins of an older fortification. In the reign of Dom Fernando underwent restoration and, in 1755, suffered a lot of damage with the earthquake. Later, the French invaders left the castle in a State of great disrepair, which evolved into the State of total abandonment. Nowadays, preserves some towers of 14th century, including the donjon. The room of the castle is transformed into a garden and is a pleasant place of leisure.
