The Torre Medieval, also known as Torre da Rua de D. Pedro Pitões or Torre da Cidade, is a reconstructed medieval tower located in the historic zone of Porto, Portugal. Originally hidden among other buildings, it was uncovered in the 1940s during urban renovations. The tower, representing typical medieval architecture, was preserved and relocated approximately 15 meters from its original site. It features a Gothic-style stone balcony added by architect Rogério de Azevedo. Now serving as a tourist office for Porto Tours, the tower is an important part of the city's heritage, attracting visitors interested in history and architecture.
