San Felipe Castle

The Castillo de San Felipe is located on the west side of the city, about 900 m from the historic center, next to Playa Garden. Actually, it is more than a castle, it is a small fort, which was built by mason Antonio Gallegos (according to Cassola Prospero project) in the seventeenth century to defend the Old Port from attack by pirates. The plant is an irregular pentagon with two heights, being surrounded by a moat. Now a municipal cultural center where concerts and art exhibitions are held. When I was there it was the Night of San Juan, and you could not get inside the castle as they were preparing

In november all way to 18th day there is a Agatha Christie exhibition.
