Torre de Santa Ana, Military fortification tower in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
The Torre de Santa Ana features Renaissance architectural elements and stands as a strategic defense point on the eastern coast of the city.
Built in 1554 at Charco de los Abades, the tower underwent two reconstructions within twenty years due to repeated attacks on the region.
The tower represents Spanish military engineering excellence and forms part of the Muralla de Las Palmas defensive system against maritime invasions.
While the original structure no longer exists, visitors can locate the former site at coordinates 28°06′38″N latitude and 15°24′51″W longitude.
The structure served as the northernmost defensive point of Las Palmas, monitoring sea traffic and protecting the city from 16th-century pirate raids.
