Casa Fuerte de Adeje, Treasure of the Canary Islands.

The Casa Fuerte de Adeje, the treasure of the Canary Islands, has marked the history of the town of Adeje, and of Tenerife, a place to see if you visit Costa Adeje.
In the middle of the 16th century, the last sugar mill on the island existed in Adeje, fed by the waters of the Barranco del Infierno. This mill was located in the Casa Fuerte prior to its construction and its production was the most important in Tenerife.
In the year 1553, Pedro Ponte asked to build a fortification to defend the area from the continuous pirate incursions that devastated the coast of Adeje. In the year 1555, it was authorized and in 1556 a strong house was built that became the political, economic and social center of the jurisdiction of Adeje for three centuries, under the stately regime of the Ponte.
A fortified residence, a mixture of a country house and a fortress, with an almost square floor plan, it occupied an area of ​​9,024 Castilian varas (7,200 square meters). It consisted of a castle and a keep, warehouses, barns, a stable, a blacksmith shop, a bakery, ovens, housing for servants and administrators, an oratory and a main palace. According to the French naturalist Berthelot "the most important room is the Archives Room", which had four large cabinets full of documents, defined by the historian Viera y Clavijo as "the Treasure of the Canary Islands".

Una vergüenza y pena que tal patrimonio cultural tan importante y que de su propietario el marqués logro que se reconociera Adeje como villa de Adeje, la mitad de el esta en ruinas, deteriorado y no se reconstruya y si hay dinero pero se dedica para otras cosas.
