Abstract

The town of Verín is situated in south-eastern Galicia, very close to the frontier with Portugal and at the feet of Monterrei Castle. During the Portuguese War of Restoration (1640-1668), because of its position, it was an important defensive enclave related to the defence of Monterrei Castle and the road leading from Portugal towards the province of Ourense from Chaves. The fortified outline is hidden by the sale of the land on which the modern walls stood in the middle of the 19^th century and the large-scale urban development of the second half of the 20^th century. The aim of this work is to know what role Verín played during these periods and its transformations since the Late Middle Ages.
