1993 metres (6637 feet) above sea level, Torre (English: Tower) is the highest point of Mainland Portugal, and the second most elevated of the Portuguese Republic (only Mount Pico, in the Azores, is higher).
This point is not a distinctive mountain summit, but rather the highest point in a mountain range. Torre has an unusual feature of being a summit that is accessible by paved road.
It is located in a mountain range named Serra da Estrela.
On site there is a large viewpoint which we observe a clear view of the landscape of valleys embedded in a contact zone between schist and granite, cut by several watercourses.
The lowest temperatures of Portugal are recorded on the summit of the Serra da Estrela, even reaching -20 ° C in winter.
