Fuerte de Almeyda, Military museum and fortress in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
The Fuerte de Almeyda features eight vaulted casemates and a defensive caponera, combining stone construction with early hydraulic concrete from the Canary Islands.
The fortress construction began in 1859 under General Salvador Clavijo y Plo as a response to protect the city after Admiral Nelson's attack in 1797.
The museum exhibits include the Cañón Hércules from Flanders and two British flags captured during the 1797 battle for Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The military museum contains over 900 square meters of exhibition space across two floors, displaying weapons, maps, communication equipment, and historical artifacts.
The fort's upper walkway provides views of the coastline while featuring anti-aircraft pieces that illustrate the evolution of coastal defense systems.
