The Castillo de San Marcial de Rubicón

            The Castillo de San Marcial de Rubicón, de las Coloradas or Torre del Águila is a defensive tower located in the town of Playa Blanca, in the municipality of Yaiza on the island of Lanzarote.

The building has a circular shape with an area of 280 square meters. The interior is accessed via an ashlar staircase that leads to a drawbridge made of tea wood. It houses several rooms. the dungeon, the gunpowder warehouse, the troop dormitory and various rooms. In the esplanade area and on the wall, a small bell tower stands presided over by a cross.

It is considered a "twin" of other defense towers such as the Torre de San Andrés in Tenerife; the towers of Gando and San Pedro, in Gran Canaria and the castles of El Cotillo and Fuste, in Fuerteventura.​
