The current Guadacabrilla or Cabrilla tower was ordered to be built in the s. XV by the second mayor of Córdoba, Dr. Luís Sánchez, in the times of Enrique III (possibly between 1403 and 1406) "to guard the road to Seville" and the Guadalquivir ford.

This tower occupies a dominant position and was built taking advantage of the remains of a previous one that already existed in 1267, which with the name of Atalayuela was designated as a landmark located between the road from Córdoba to Seville and the Guadalquivir river. In 1985 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, the maximum protection granted to the monument by the Spanish Historical Heritage Law.
