Castillo de San Felipe, Castle in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain.
The San Felipe Castle stands on the northern coast of Tenerife, featuring thick stone walls and a pentagonal structure overlooking the harbor.
Built in 1641, this fortress protected the coastal area from pirate invasions and served as a military stronghold throughout the 17th century.
The castle received the status of Cultural Interest Asset and Historical Artistic Monument in 1949, representing Spanish colonial military architecture.
Located one kilometer from the town center, the castle opens to visitors who can explore its preserved structures and informative displays.
Throughout its existence, the building transformed from a military fortress into an infirmary, warehouse, shooting club, restaurant, and cultural center.
