Description
Castillo de la Luz is the oldest defensive fortress in the Canary Islands, dating back to the late 15th century. This square, three-story castle originally protected Las Palmas de Gran Canaria from pirate attacks.
Today, this unique place combines history with culture - since 2015 it has housed the Martín Chirino Foundation for Art and Thought, offering fascinating art exhibitions and events.
Built on a coral reef, it was cut off from the mainland at high tide, making it an excellent strategic point. The well-preserved yellow tumbled stone walls remember the days when the castle was a key part of the city's defense.
