Abstract
Anterior ao foral atribuído por D. Sancho I à Guarda em 1199, a Torre Velhada Guarda constituía-se como a torre de menagem do castelo românico desta cidade, cercada por um pano de muralha de planta ovóide. Nos reinados posteriores temos notícias da construção de novos panos de muralhas e da nova torre de menagem no extremo sul, seguindo já uma arquitectura militar gótica. Consequentemente a torre românica perde o seu estatuto primordial sendo, como referido no Tombo da Comarca da Beira de 1395,reaproveitada como torre exterior aquando da construção do muro novo. Ao longo dos séculos esta área transforma-se numa zona periurbana e renegada para zona de vazadouro como evidenciam as referências documentais. Complementarmente, as recentes intervenções arqueológicas permitem vislumbrar este processo de descentralização e transformação de uma zona central numa área periurbana e de despejo de detritos, datável entre a Idade Média e o final do século XX.
Prior to the charter assigned by D. Sancho I to Guarda in 1199, the Torre Velhaof Guarda was the keep of the Romanesque castle of this city, surrounded byan ovoid wall. In the following reigns we have news of the construction of newwalls and the new Keep in the far south, already following a gothic militaryarchitecture. As a result, the Romanesque tower loses its primordial status and,as mentioned in the 1395 Beira Tumble, was reused as an outer tower whenthe new wall was built. Over the centuries this area has been transformed intoa periurban area and renegade to a leaky area as evidenced by documentaryreferences. In addition, recent archaeological interventions provide insightinto this process of decentralization and transformation of a central zone intoa periurban area and waste disposal between the Middle Age and the end ofthe Twentieth century.
