Torre de Menagem

This 14th-century tower, originally the keep of Guarda's castle, stands on the highest point in town. You can't go into the tower but even from the base there are sweeping views over the city's rooftops and down to the surrounding countryside.

To reach it, head up to Rua Dona Maria Luísa Godinho southwest of the Sé.
