Torre de Moncorvo (European Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈtoʁɨ ðɨ mõˈkoɾvu] ) is a municipality in the district of Bragança in Portugal. The population in 2011 was 8,572,[1] in an area of 531.56 km2.[2]
The present mayor is Nuno Gonçalves, elected by the PSD.
Torre de Moncorvo is also a well-developed and promising mining area. Iron ore is mined at the Mua Mine by Aethel Partners.[3] The municipal holiday is March 19. In early November, the directorate-general for energy and geology (DGEG) authorised Aethel to control the Torre de Moncorvo iron mine, a company that hopes to put Portugal in a leading position in European mining.
