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.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
