\n\tGuardias Viejas Castle\n<\/h1>\n

\n\t Calle del Muro, 20, 04715 El Ejido\n<\/p>\n

\nGuardias Viejas Castle is located on a small rocky hill near the sea. It was built in the 18th century, during the reign of Charles III. It was partly destroyed by the English during the Peninsular War, being rebuilt in 1817. \n<\/p>\n

\nThe fortress has a courtyard that gives access to the rooms. From the terrace you\u2019ll see a breathtaking view of the coast. The fortress houses a military clothes and weapons exhibition, as well as a series of concerts in summer. \n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
