The structure in 2020

... that the Casa Fuerte de Adeje (pictured) was built in Tenerife in the 1550s to protect a sugar mill against pirates, but the complex burnt down in 1902 and has yet to be rebuilt? Source: construction history (in English), Lista Roja covers the rest (in Spanish)

Comment: I'm still working on the article, but I think it's long enough for DYK now. Most sources are in Spanish, sorry. There are more photos available on Commons if the one here isn't suitable.

New enough, long enough, well-written & neutral. Hook checks out, pic ok to use. How long will you be working on it, do you think? Me, I'd add at least Tenerife to the hook. Johnbod (talk) 18:37, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Johnbod: Thanks for the review! I wasn't expecting one so quickly. :-) I'm aiming to finish writing the article tonight, depending on how many distractions I get, and then normally Nikkimaria turns up to remove the Wikidata-powered infobox - after that it should be stable. I've added a link to Tenerife in the main hook above, thanks for pointing that omission out. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:53, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no rush - I'm away for a few days now. Johnbod (talk) 17:40, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod: Just to let you know that I'm done writing it now. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 11:31, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Earwig finds nothing. See above for rest. Johnbod (talk) 17:44, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
