Torre de Almofala

Torre de Almofala is a Roman monument in Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Portugal, originally constructed as a temple probably in the 2nd century AD, believed to have been inspired by the Temple of Julius Caesar in the Roman Forum. The site is associated with the Roman settlement of Civitas Cobelcorum. Later adapted as a military watchtower, likely around the 10th century, the tower stands amid archaeological remains attesting to a broader Roman city. An interpretation centre now displays findings from excavations at the site.
