Castillo de San Lorenzo de Puntales, Coastal defense castle in Cádiz, Spain.
The San Lorenzo del Puntal Castle features an oval layout with stone bastions, gun ports, and a moat filled with seawater through gates.
Built in 1588 as a fortified tower with five cannons, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1598 after suffering damage during the Anglo-Dutch attack.
The Historical Recreation Cultural Association 'El Castillete de Puntales' presents theatrical visits during the Cannon Festival each August.
The castle belongs to the Ministry of Defense and serves as Spanish Navy facilities, with restricted public access requiring advance arrangements.
Two identical electrical towers stand since 1955, one in front of the castle and another at Matagorda across the bay.
