The Castillo de San Felipe is located on the west side of the city, about 900 m from the historic center, next to Playa Garden. Actually, it is more than a castle, it is a small fort, which was built by mason Antonio Gallegos (according to Cassola Prospero project) in the seventeenth century to defend the Old Port from attack by pirates. The plant is an irregular pentagon with two heights, being surrounded by a moat. Now a municipal cultural center where concerts and art exhibitions are held. When I was there it was the Night of San Juan, and you could not get inside the castle as they were preparing

For the event, but the center's regular hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11-13 h and 17-20 h.

The elaborately restored Castillo de San Felipe on the Playa de Jardin in Puerto de la Cruz is worth seeing. It was built in the 17th century to defend the ships that sought refuge at the Puerto piers. Today it serves as a cultural center where exhibitions and concerts are held. The fortress is open (except Sun / Mon) 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Admission is free.
