The fortress-tower of Mesía is a fortification dating from the late 13th or early 14th century, located in the village of Pobra, in the Galician municipality of Mesía. Since the 15th century, during the Ancien Régime, the jurisdiction of Mesía for the bishop of Santiago de Compostela was exercised from this castle. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural on November 17, 1994, by the Ministry of Culture.
