Description

El Castillo de San Marcial de Rubicón, de las Coloradas o Torre del Águila es una torre defensiva situada en la localidad de Playa Blanca, en el municipio de Yaiza en la isla de Lanzarote, .

Ante las constantes incursiones de piratas berberiscos, ingleses y franceses que asolaban desde el siglo XVI. las costas de Lanzarote y Fuerteventura, el gobernador Andrés Bonito Pignatelli promovió la construcción de torres defensivas. Dicha obra fue encargada al ingeniero Claudio de L´Isle, que en 1741 decidió emplazar una de ellas en la punta del Águila, un promontorio que alcanza una altura de unos 15 m sobre el nivel medio de las mareas desde el que se domina prácticamente toda la costa del estrecho de la Bocaina. En 1742 ya se había erigido dicha torre.[1]​
