La Fortaleza

La Fortaleza (fortress) of Santa Lucia, is believed to be Ansite, the last refuge of the aboriginal Guanches. It is here that the Guanches lived and defended themselves in the natural caves in this great rocky mountain, and kept their livestock below in the ravine. In 1485 the Guanches surrendered to the Castillian conquerors, although its leader jumped to his death rather than be turned to christianity.

A museum centre is open to the public and showcases artefacts from the various caves in and around the fortress.
