Manuel Luciano da Silva argues the Newport Tower was built by Portuguese navigators and Templars, detailing octagonal arch design, references to Tomar Monastery, the Order of Christ, and contrasts with Arnold and Norse theories. He cites Iberian church forms, Dighton Rock links, and the era of early Atlantic exploration to support a European origin.
