There are still some concerns about whether this structure had a Roman, or proto-Roman, foundation, normally attributed to D. Egas Pais de Penegate, a trusted man of Count Henry of Burgundy, as defended by some authors.[2][3]The tower was begun in 1322, by Mem Rodrigues de Vasconcelos, alcalde-mor of the Castle of Guimar\u00e3es, after receiving a royal licence (for a domus fortis) from King Denis on 5 October 1322.[2][4] Mem Rodrigues requested the dispatch, owing to problems found in occupying his title in the region of Entre-Homem-e-C\u00e1vado, the zone where royal judiciary had difficulties in imposing is authority owing to his uncle, Pedro Anes de Vasconcelos.[2][5]By 1668, Miguel Valadares, who was then the proprietor of the tower, died.[2][4] The Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Penha was constructed in the 17th century, under his initiative (from the inscription along the principal facade).[2][4] This nobleman, deacon of Guimar\u00e3es and judge in Braga, was the descendant and heir of the building, and incorporated the chapel as a burial site.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1907, the tower was acquired by the father of the current property-owner.[2][4][6]In 1939, a house was constructed along the lateral wall of the tower.[4]The tower’s age meant that local authorities were interested in classifying the tower, as a form of attracting local activity to the region.[4] On 20 August 1986, municipal authorities deliberated a motion to propose to the IPPC, that the tower be listed as a National Monument.[4] This was followed on 15 November 1988, with a proposal by the C\u00e2mara Municipal of Vila Verde to classify the structure.[4] The process was opened by the president of the IPPC on 20 June 1990. But, many of these initiatives met with success, and Penegate remained unclassified by the beginning of the 20th century.[4]On 27 December 2011, the DRCNorte (Direc\u00e7\u00e3o Regional de Cultura do Norte) re-proposed classifying the structure as an MIP, or Monumento de Interesse P\u00fablico (Monument of Public Interest).[4] The proposal was met with a favorable response from the National Council for Culture SPAA on 23 January 2012.[4] On 28 September 2012, an announcement (13494\/2012), was published in the Di\u00e1rio da Rep\u00fablica (S\u00e9rie II, 189), relative to the decision on classifying the monument as MIP, and established a special zone of protection for the keep.[4]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Architecture[edit]The tower is located in a rural context, alongside a house that was recently constructed, in addition to the Chapel of Penha.[2][4] It is a Baroque temple, of small dimension, conserving a modern triptych altarpiece, with the image of the Virgin Mary in the centre, flanked by Saint John and Saint Anthony, in painted panels.[4]The tower is located over a clifftop, over a hilltop escarpment that dominates the valley of Febros. Access to the site is made along a very steep pedestrian trail.[4] Along the valley, there once existed a medieval road, based on a former Roman via, which connected Braga and Valen\u00e7a.[4]A rectangular tower, consisting of a three-story facade, with rooftop terrace.[2][4] The entrance-way, consisting of a Roman arch, is situated in the level ground, although it is likely that access was made by a movable staircase.[2][4] The first floors has several high and long cracks. In the western facade is a balcony with machicolations and, along the other facades are tall rectangular windows. Along the eastern wall is a window with rounded frame.[2][4]Within the interior of the tower are several inscriptions, likely Gothic in nature, but of complex lettering.[2][4]References[edit]Notes^ J.
