## Visit Castle of Sancti Petri

Activities

* * *

#### Take a boat ride from Chiclana de la Frontera to this island fort, originally built by Moorish conquerors in the 13th century.

The Castillo de Sancti Petri has been defending the Andalusian coast for several centuries. Make the journey out to this scenic fortress for an atmospheric exploration of the area’s deep, multifaceted past.

The island was first settled by the Phoenicians, who built a shrine to the god Melqart. Later, the structure was replaced by a Roman temple to Hercules, the mythical founder of Cádiz, whose remains were said to be contained in the temple. The modern fort was stationed away from the shoreline to defend against pirates and English attackers. Look out onto the waves or watch the sun set into the sea from the ramparts.

Set out across the waves from Sancti Petri Marina and watch as the castle, glowing white in the sunshine, appears to become larger as you approach. Step onto the island’s rocky shore and walk toward the castle. Spot the small lighthouse, installed on top of the tower in 1918 after the castle was decommissioned.

Make your way across the island on a self-guided tour or join a guided tour to go through the building itself, lovingly restored after many years of neglect.

Time your visit to coincide with a theatrical performance or a historical reenactment of the cannon-shooting ceremony to get a sense of the castle as it was historically.

Bring your binoculars to spot the migration of seabirds flying overhead or look for signs of life in the oceans.

Get a glass of wine and some tapas from the on-site bar and go out to the shore to watch the sky glow red in the evening light.

The Castillo de Sancti Petri is located on the island of Sancti Petri, about 0.8 mile (1.2 kilometers) off the coast. Take a ferry from the Sancti Petri Marina or rent a kayak and paddle to the island. The marina is 20 minutes by car or 30 minutes by bus from central Chiclana de la Frontera. Parking is available.

Book boat tours, including a guided castle visit, online. Tours are available in the mornings and evenings from Tuesday to Sunday. The island is accessible daily.
