The remains of this fortification date from the 10th century, when the municipality was created, and it has been the protagonist of various historical episodes: its destruction in 1003 after a Saracen attack, the siege in the 15th century during the Catalan civil war, or in the XVII, during the War of the Segadors, in which the French troops defeated the Castilians in this same place. It was from this fact that a process of plundering began that lasted for centuries. The rectangular tower of the castle is not preserved and only a few walls remain.

There is little more to add to what Peaknik explains so well. You have to look closely to see the ruins of the castle.
