Castillo, Medieval castle in Chipiona, Spain
The defensive castle features square towers, pointed arch windows, and stone battlements overlooking the Atlantic Ocean near Playa de las Canteras.
Built in the 15th century to protect against pirates, the fortress served as a military garrison until 1651 and later housed the Civil Guard.
The castle now functions as an interpretation center dedicated to the historical connections between Cadiz province and the New World discoveries.
The castle opens for guided tours and exhibitions, with reservations available through the municipal tourism office at +34 956 92 90 65.
The fortress underwent transformation into a hotel from 1890 to 1989 before the municipality acquired and restored it for public access.
