Castillo del Aguila o de las Coloradas

This Castle, guardian of the Rubicón coast, is part of the municipality of Yaiza
It is an essential example for the study of the military architecture of the Archipelago, of which there are not many vestiges in the Canary Islands.

It dates back to 1741 and was built with quarry stone, lime and tea wood, to defend the area from pirate attacks and invasions and to control naval traffic in the La Bocaina Strait. Later, in 1969, it was rebuilt and increased, after it was burned by Algerian troops.

Today, it remains in perfect condition, and although it is known that there is an intention to make it available to the public, it is still not possible to enter for visits.
