About Castillo de Santa Ana

Castillo de Santa Ana is a historic site. Location: Roquetas de Mar, Almeria.

From Wikipedia

The Castillo de Santa Ana (formerly known as Castillo de Las Roquetas) is a fortification built between the 16th and 17th centuries, located in the town of Roquetas de Mar (Almería) which was used as a refuge for the inhabitants who lived near the port. It has an oblong shape. Near the castle there is a lighthouse. The 1804 Almería earthquake destroyed most of the structure, leaving only one of the towers and the raised level area, which have since been conserved and recovered.
