Torres-Vedras

Torres-Vedras is a town of Portugal, 26 miles North of Lisbon. It is celebrated for the great lines of defence Wellington constructed in 1810, and behind which he successfully withstood the siege of the French under Massena, thus saving Lisbon, and preparing the way for his subsequent expulsion of the French from the Peninsula.
