The city
The castle
Conquered in 1148, Torres Novas suffered several assaults by Muslims or Spanish, being frequently rebuilt and enlarged. When the city lost expression to other regional populations, the castle was abandoned, suffering great damages with Lisbon earthquake in 1755. Several walls were demolished while the city was developing, until 1910 when the castle was declared national monument. It is being recovered with wise works, allowing today a nice and easy visit. |
