Between the mining heritage of Mina de S\u00e3o Domingos and the skies of Dark Sky\u00ae Alqueva<\/h3>

Located in the historic Mina de S\u00e3o Domingos, next to the river beach and surrounded by the striking landscape shaped by the region\u2019s former mining activity, Casa da Torre was created through the careful restoration of the former police barracks of the mine, once operated by the Mason & Barry company, the entity responsible for the exploitation of this important 19th-century mining complex.<\/p>
