Castillo de Fuste, Defense tower in Caleta de Fuste, Spain.
The Castillo de Fuste stands as a circular stone structure with two levels, supported by a central pillar and featuring a drawbridge entrance point.
Military engineer Claudio de Lisne constructed this coastal fortification in 1743 to protect Fuerteventura's shores from pirate raids and potential invasions.
The fortress holds the status of 'bien de interés cultural', recognizing its position as a significant element of Spanish architectural and military heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the coastal path from Caleta de Fuste's main beach, with parking spaces available near the entrance.
The fortress walls, initially 3 meters thick, were later expanded to 6 meters following damage from pirate attacks during its active defense period.
