Castillo de San Jose, Arrecife, Lanzarote

Puerto Naos
Arrecife

The Castillo de San Jose was built in 1799 to protect the Harbour from Pirate Attack. However it never faced any real threat and was used as a gunpowder arsenal.

It remained in Military use until 1890, but then stood vacant until 1974 when César Manrique converted it into a Modern Art Gallery and Restaurant, the Museo International de Arte Contemporáneo.
