Torres of Altamira
Structure
Formerly a fortress that was built in the ninth century on the remains of an ancient fort. The towers were needy throughout the low middle ages. It belonged to the Moscoso family from the fifteenth century onwards and were overthrown by the Irmandiñas revolts between the years 1431-1469. They were rebuilt and besieged again by the troops of Archbishop Fonseca in 1471. The first Count of Altalira, López Sánchez de Ulloa and Moscoso, lived in them from 1480 with his family until the sixteenth century. The family ended up abandoning the fortress and it remained in ruins, years later its stones were used to build monuments such as the Santa Minia chapel or the church of Brión.
