Castillo de San Miguel
Castillo de San Miguel, Renaissance fortress in Garachico, Spain
The Castillo de San Miguel stands as a square stone fortification with defensive towers and battlements overlooking the northern coast of Tenerife.
Built in 1575 under the direction of Fabián Viña Negrón, this castle protected Garachico's port from French corsairs and other maritime threats.
The fortress now functions as a heritage information center within the Museum Network of the Tenerife Council, displaying regional historical artifacts.
Visitors can explore the castle from Monday to Saturday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with guided tours explaining its military architecture.
The volcanic eruption of 1706 buried parts of Garachico, transforming the castle's role from a defensive structure to a cultural monument.
