Castle of Santa Ana, Medieval castle in Castro-Urdiales, Spain
The Castle of Santa Ana stands on a rocky peninsula alongside the Santa María de la Asunción Church, featuring five corner towers reaching 15 meters high.
Built during the 13th century as part of the town's fortification system, the castle served as a defensive structure until its abandonment in the 16th century.
The castle represents the medieval military architecture of northern Spain and forms part of the historical complex known as Puebla Vieja.
Located at Paseo Marítimo 12, the castle opens daily from 11:00 to 13:30 and 16:30 to 18:30, with free admission for all visitors.
The castle structure incorporates a lighthouse installed in 1853, with its operational machinery housed within the former chapel of the fortress.
