Centro de Interpretación Castillo de San Cristóbal Centro de Interpretación Castillo de San Cristóbal No Data

Description


Located underneath the Plaza de España the remains of the harbour castle were discovered when the square was redeveloped around 2006. A small corner of the castle exists and is now housed in an interpretation centre beneath the square with a small exhibition about the defence of Tenerife. The centre is also home to "El Tigre" one of the canons used to defend Tenerife against the British and reputed to be the canon whose shot cost Horatio Nelson his arm.
