Doorways of the farmhouses of Bolvir

There are several doorways in the old part of the village which are especially worth mentioning for their historic interest, among them the entrance to the Torre de Bolvir, the Tower of Bolvir. While the oldest dates from the 16th century, most of them are from the 18th and 19th centuries and were built in granite in the periods between different civil wars when the village was at its social and economic peak.
