The Castle of San Francisco, located in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, is a seventeenth-century defensive fortress located on the mountain of the same name, in the municipality of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Its construction began in 1601 and, although it can be completed in 1625, it was later renovated in different periods. It is a defensive construction with an irregular floor plan to adapt to the orography of the terrain. It occupied an area of 5,750 square metres, which would make it the largest defensive platform on the island, according to the Canary Islands Register of Assets of Cultural Interest. The Castle of Francisco, integrated into the defensive system of the city, was connected to the Castle of Mata by the northern wall, and to the Punta de Diamante platform to the south through another defensive wall.
