The Castillo de Santa Ana, also known as Castillo de Las Roquetas,[1][2] is a fortification built between the 16th and 17th centuries, located in the town of Roquetas de Mar (Almería) which was used as a refuge for the inhabitants who lived near the port.

[3] The 1804 Almería earthquake destroyed most of the structure, leaving only one of the towers and the raised level area, which have since been conserved and recovered.

[5][6] Nowadays, the castle offers photography and art exhibitions, and acts as a venue for concerts and speeches.
