The remains of the castle and its keep date from the 13th to 15th centuries. The entire old medieval town of Zahara was surrounded by a defensive cordon made up of stretches of wall with towers from stretch to stretch, the entire complex being battlemented and even defended in various places by two walls, which become three if we consider those of the castle itself. per se.
