Situated on a cliff, the Castillo de las Coloradas was built between the years 1741 to 1744 to defend the attacks by pirates. It was rebuilt in the year 1769, after it was burned by Algerian troops. It offered protection of the land through its robust circular construction and through its drawbridge. During emergencies, its bell used to sounded to warn that pirates were approaching the coast. The Castillo de las Coloradas is a beautiful example of military architecture of the Archipelago. Built with hewn stone, lime and wood tea, the units were composed of a bedroom for the troops, three quarters, a warehouse for gunpowder, a dungeon and two cisterns. The place offers beautiful sights of the Costa Papagayo.
