Torre de Friol
Friol, Spain, Spain
Torre de Friol, also known as Torre de Xiá or Torre de San Paio de Narla, is a medieval fortress-museum in Friol municipality, Lugo province, Galicia, Spain, with documented origins from the 14th century and possible construction dating to the 12th or 13th.
Rebuilt in the 16th century by Vasco de Seixas after the Irmandiño revolts destroyed much of it, the structure features three distinct sections blending medieval and later styles, including a crenellated keep, attached chapel from the 18th century, and defensive elements typical of Galician noble towers amid the region's feudal power struggles between families like Ulloa, Parga, and Seixas.
Since 1939 under Lugo Provincial Council ownership, it houses ethnographic exhibits of armor, firearms, hunting artifacts, and period furnishings across its floors, offering free access and panoramic views of the Lugo plateau landscape.
