    Islamic origins between the 10th and 12th centuries.

    After the Christian conquest by James I in 1233, the king granted the castle and the title of baron to the knight Ximén d'Urrea.

    It was a key military fortress for controlling the Tinença d’Alcalatén, and underwent renovations in the 15th and 16th centuries under Christian rule.

    It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest on May 30, 2000 (code RI-51-0010535).
