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. |
