Casa Fuerte, Fortified house and ruins in Adeje, Spain
The Casa Fuerte complex includes thick defensive walls, watchtowers, and remnants of residential quarters situated near a former sugar mill in Tenerife.
Pedro Ponte initiated the construction of Casa Fuerte in 1556 to protect the local sugar mill from frequent pirate attacks along the Tenerife coast.
The structure received recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site in 1986, emphasizing its role in the defense system of the Canary Islands.
Visitors can access the ruins during weekday hours without entrance fees, allowing exploration of this historical fortification in southern Tenerife.
A fire in 1902 destroyed large sections of the complex, yet the surviving kitchen walls and family archives provide insights into colonial life.
