Although the ruins are located in the Badajoz municipality of Monesterio, the closest town is El Real de la Jara, in the province of Seville. It is located on a rocky hillock that serves as its base.

This castle is located right on the border between Andalusia and Extremadura. Although its origin and purpose are not well defined, different studies confirm that it was built between the 15th and 16th centuries. From its three rounded towers it was possible to watch over the nearby Vía de la Plata.
