The Tower of Celas or Vinseira is located in a privileged environment, at the foot of Mount Xalo, dominating the Veiga valley. It is what remains of an ancient defensive fortress and the only monument declared BIC (Asset of Cultural Interest) in our municipality.

Although determining the exact date of its construction is difficult, it was possibly erected in the 14th century. The first documentation in which references to the tower appear is a lawsuit from the year 1395 between its owner, Martín Becerra, and the city council of A Coruña. The tower was located on the A Coruña-Santiago route and Martín Becerra, lord of those lands, began to charge tolls for the passage of goods and passersby. The lawsuit was settled in favor of the city of A Coruña and forced Becerra to destroy all the defensive buildings.

Attached to the tower was a manor house, owned by different noble families of the area, of which today only the coats of arms remain, transferred to the manor house of Anceis, in the neighboring municipality of Cambre.

The tower is a freestanding building with a square plan of 8×8 meters built in granite. It features several narrow-mouthed arrow slits with wide internal splay, which, along with the trenches, elements consisting of openings from which one could shoot without being in danger, on the upper part denote its military function. It also has two larger windows with stone benches inside and on one of the facades, coats of arms with the shields of the Andrade family, the Freixomil family, and another shield difficult to interpret.

It was restored in 1992 by the students of the Ponte do Burgo Workshop-School and for a time housed an ethnographic museum.

Although its interior cannot be visited, we can still contemplate the monument while strolling through the large park that surrounds it, enjoying the playground, or planning one of the attractive hiking routes that start nearby.
