Excellently preserved and restored a couple of years ago. It looks brilliant, they have even added a door and ladder to access the interior of it. Tower of Arab origin that is next to a farmhouse by the Realengo de Agicampe, an area of ​​olive groves and dry land. It is fenced, as it is inside a private property. I took some photos from the outside. I asked a "runner" who was passing by and he told me that if you see the owners of the farmhouse they can show it to you. I was embarrassed and I'll come back another day with someone to take pictures of us.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
