Interessant zu sehen, nur bitte nicht zu viel erwarten.
Es handelt sich um ein Stückchen Fundament des Castillo das von zwei kleine Tunneln, vielleicht 15m, also von zwei Seiten anzuschauen ist. Dazu bekommt man am Eingang eine Beschreibung, die in verschiedenen Sprachen übersetzt ist.

Only some foundations left but quite interesting, unfortunately all the info on the walls was only in Spanish 😕 Free entry

A small underground museum where you can learn about the history of Santa Cruz. Descriptions are provided in English as well, though not all of them. There's also a section of the original city wall. I recommend it to people interested in history.
Admission to the museum is free.

den Besuchern die Überreste der Mauer der Burg Sant Cristóbal.

The Castle of San Cristóbal was the first fortification system on the island. What is left are underground foundations. The famous El Tigre cannon was installed in a dedicated room at the centre. Apparently, El Tigre is the cannon that injured Nelson during the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (1797).


Wenn man etwas Zeit hat, auf jeden Fall einen kleinen Abstecher wert. Der Besuch ist kostenlos, die Anlage ist unterirdisch und erfrischend kühl. Es gibt Zugang zu Resten der alten Verteidigungsanlage und eine original Kanone aus der Nähe sehen.
