San Felipe Castle

This colonial style fort was built on XVII century to defend the city from pirate attacks.

This castle has a pentagonal two floors architecture, on the time it was built it used to have a drawbridge, now replaced by a fixed path.

The San Felipe Castle has been deteriorating throughout the years and it was only reformed on the XIX century when it adopted the same architectonic structure as you might see nowadays.

For many years, this singular building, was used for many other uses (more than defending the coast) as for example the lazareto, nursing and also restaurant.

This insolit building has been catalogued as Historic Artistic Monument in 1949. Nowadays the San Felipe Castle is in a good condition and, in its interior you might visit a cultural space where many exhibitions are held, classical music concerts, poetical recitals and others.
