The fortress originated as a Muslim fort, which would pass into Christian hands in 1198, remaining in the hands of the Order of San Juan in 1215, although it was conquered with the help of the Order of Santiago. Legend has it that after taking the fortress the image of Our Lady of Peñarroya was found, venerated since then by the residents of Argamasilla de Alba and La Solana, who share the Patron Saint.

The castle is in good condition and you can visit its interior. It has beautiful views of the reservoir and the dam.

The entrance to the castle is in an esplanade where there are picnic tables and a canteen.
