Torre - old astronomy observatory towers at the top of the Serra da Estrela mountain in Portugal, Europe


"Serra da Estrela is the highest mountain range in Continental Portugal. Together with the Serra da Lousã it is the westernmost constituent range of the Sistema Central and also one of the highest in the system. It includes mainland Portugal's highest point at 1,993 m (6,539 ft) above mean sea level at its highest point. The mountain range, situated between the municipalities of Seia, Manteigas, Gouveia, Guarda and Covilhã, is about 100 km ( mi) long and is 30 km ( mi) at its widest point. It is formed from a huge granite ridge that once formed the southern frontier of the country." [source: Wikipedia]
