Ruins and Fragments of Castillo San Cristóbal in Santa Cruz de Tenerife
We took a tour of the ruins of the Castillo de San Cristóbal in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.
It was the first important fortification there . In June 2006, while they were carrying out remodeling works on the Plaza de España, these remains were located, which were later found to belong to those from the castle. In the technical studies that were carried out as a result, it was found that the structure of the building had suffered serious damage at the time of its demolition in 1928. Specifically, the eastern part of the fortification and the wall of the bastion or diamond point located in the northeast corner , today a whole small museum sample. 
It was torn down in 1928.
In it is the famous Tigre Canyon, formerly located in the Military History Museum of the Canary Islands.
The ruins have a height of about 2 or 3 meters at one end, and 1 or 2 meters at the other, and are about 7.5 meters long.
The underground space enabled where the preserved walls of the castle are exhibited exposes the defensive system that Tenerife had.
