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. I have taken the information from the Wikipedia web encyclopedia and a summary that is found on an iron plate next to the Torres de Alamira

Medieval element
Camiño Portugués e Capela da Madalena
Place
~Camiño Portugués~ Empeza en Lisboa e remata en Santiago.A etapa do Milladoiro é a última etapa do camiño portugués,que vai de Padrón a Santiago pasando polo Milladoiro. Os peregrinos ao ver ao lonxe as torres da catedral humillabanse ante Deus para pedir perdón dos seus pecados pois xa alviscaban a súa meta.Unha teoría di que o nome do MIlladoiro proven da palabra humilladoiro (arrodillarse) , Miliarios que ven do romano que eran pedras que servian para delimitar e separar as diferentes vias que en aquela epoca enlazaban as diferentes rexions e provincias existentes ~Capela da Madalena~ Ubicase nunha pequena praza na rua da Madalena,no casco urbano do Miladoiro que pertenece a parroquia de Santa María de Biduido. Existe dende mediados do século XII como lugar de culto cristiá ao estar preto da catedral de Santiago de Compostela Non se conservan apenas restos medievais só a súa estructura,o arco grande no interior da igrexa e os muros de pedra.
