Castle of Santa Bárbara or Guanapay Castle Lanzarote


The Castle of Santa Bárbara is situated in the North-West of Lanzarote on the top of the Guanapay Mountain, reason for which it is also called Guanapay Castle.

This castle was built by Sancho Herrera as look-out and control point over the coast and revised by the engineer of the king Felipe II, Leonardo Torriani, in 1588 who transformed it in a defence tower providing it with cannons and battlements.

After losing its defensive utility, the castle nowadays is used as museum and repository for most of the documents from islanders who emigrated to America: passports, boarding passes, maps, fotographs, letters etc.
The last refurbishment works to the castle were introduced by the Department of Renovation of the Community of Teguise in 1898 which pretended to restore the appearance it showed after being reworked by Torriani.
