The Casa das Torres de Oliveira stands for the Portuguese memory and history of erudite architecture, which dates back to the 18th century.

The Commandery of Oliveira, in the Land of Upper Douro (now the County Town of Mesão Frio) was given as an official reward by King Afonso V, to Afonso de Mansilha, noble gentleman, coming from Galicia, for services rendered to that monarch in Battle of Toro in 1476.
The Galician nobleman went to live for your Palace of Oliveira where she consorts with the daughter of the Mayor of Santarém, D. Catarina Rodrigues Borges. Began here Mansilha lineage and surname of his descendants.
The 7th grandchild of Afonso de Mansilha and D. Catarina Rodrigues Borges, Maria de Figueiredo Mansilha Caetano Veloso, heiress of Commendery of Oliveira, she married Dr. Jose Antonio de Souza e Faria, Nobleman of the National Coat of Arms, Knight of the Order of Christ the Judge of His Majesty the King Dom João V .
Was Dr. Jose De Souza e Faria sixth-grandfather of actual owners, who had built Casa das Torres de Oliveira in 1740 in the same place until then had remained for centuries, the ancient house of the noble family Mansilha

Its construction site was chosen after careful consideration, which allowed not only creating a vast agricultural property, with Port wine production as well as superb red and white table wines, which it sells under its own designation, but also enjoying a wonderful landscape, at the end of which one can see the Douro River meandering towards the sea.
Well in the fashion of the 18th century, José António de Sousa Faria's attire was made of silk, which at that time was abundantly produced in the Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro regions. This is the reason why he was lovingly nicknamed "Sedinhas" (little silks).

Synonymous with quality, tradition, history and national pride, the family decided, in 1999, to make this mansion's heritage open to all those who appreciate the culture and history of these families that hold immense legacies of beauty and tradition.
