La Herradura Castle, built in 1771 by order of Charles III, is a coastal fortification located in La Herradura, Granada. Originally, its function was to defend the coast from pirate and privateer raids. In 2021, the castle was restored and converted into the “1562 La Furia del Mar” Interpretation Centre, a museum that commemorates the tragic shipwreck of the Spanish Armada that occurred in the bay of La Herradura in 1562, where 25 of the 28 galleys sank, causing the death of nearly 5,000 people.
