Having read some of the other reviews of this building/gallery, I was pleasantly surprised. There are 4 galleries, 2 larger and 2 smaller rooms plus the artworks outside and on the roof. The building itself has been beautifully restored and is set in typical Canarian landscaping. Before visiting the galleries we enjoyed a light lunch in the restaurant. This is below the galleries and you do not have to pay the gallery fee to enter the restaurant. The toilets in the restaurant are worth a visiting themselves! As for the view, you're in a container/liner port - what do you expect? We enjoyed the contrast between the building we were in and the liners. We chose to walk from the Bus Station and it was 25 minutes. We spent over two hours at the gallery/restaurant and felt it was well worth it.

Built between 1776 and 1779 to provide defensive against pirates and then resigned by the famous Cesar Manrique (who was born nearby 1919 to 1992.) and renovated to become the International Museum of Contemporary Art in the 1970;s . The museum primarily shows art of between 1950 and 1980. There is free parking, a nice restaurant below, with a few additional nice painting / bits or art (that at the time we entered (mid afternoon and during the week), the restaurant had two couples inside), and great views across the harbor and surrounding area. Although there is not very much art located inside, if your a fan of Manrique, it may be worth the visit. Entry is 4 euro for non resident people (in Jan24). The restaurant below can be accessed via side steps and used without paying for access to the castle. there is a dedicated website for the castle, that may be worth reading about before you visit.

Fantastic museum dedicated to art and sculpture in the last 100 years. Set in astonishing surroundings and complete with views of the crystal clear waters by the docks, you won’t be disappointed! Not good for young or people with mobility issues. Great restaurant and bar!
