Castillo de Guardias Viejas is a well kept castle in great condition, located in the town of Los Baños de Guardias Viejas. It is a battery built in 1769, near the rocky surface low rise of the Mediterranean Sea. There's a very interesting permanent exhibition of clothes and weapons of the Napoleonic era. with descriptions in multiple languages for visitors. The acoustics create a fantastic atmosphere so the venue is used for smaller local events and for larger ones such as the Natural Music Festival and Creamfields Andalucía. Well worth a visit if you're...

If you like history, then this is definitely a place to visit. Inside the castle, you will see some weapons and nice uniforms used back in the days. It's a beautiful place overall, super clean and well maintained. It was very easy to find, and it took us 15 minutes from Almerimar to get there driving. I don't know how it is during the weekend since we went there on Friday afternoon and we were the only ones. Great views to spot pirates or to take nice photos with...

El Castillo de Guardias Viejas se alza sobre un promontorio de escasa altura, en la localidad del mismo nombre, dentro del término municipal de El Ejido, Almería.

Fue construido en el siglo XVIII, destruido en parte en el siglo XIX durante la Guerra de la Independencia, y reconstruido en ese mismo siglo (1817).

El Castillo de Guardias Viejas fue restaurado en 1980 y declarado Bien de Interés Cultural en 1985, actualmente alberga un museo didáctico con una exposición permanente de ropas y armas de la época napoleónica, así como un ciclo de actuaciones...

Lovely old small coastal fort, free entrance, easy parking. Impressive collection of old weaponry and uniforms. Nicely laid out and informative panels explaining the history of it all. They appear to be building a botanical garden next to it so that would be a nice addition once it's finished.

Well, it was supposed to be open between one and two o clock. Not so. Huge construction works adjacent made it quite unclear how to approach the castle, once we made it there, saw this: We just walked around then, quite disappointed and mind, we weren't the only ones trying to gain access..
