Built at the end of the 18th century under the order of King Carlos III, its main purpose was to protect and give safety to the area due to the continuous pirate attacks. Until the 17th century, this coast and plains were deserted and shelter of Berber corsairs.
After the construction of this fortress, the pirate attacks ceased and Carchuna-Calahonda was eventually formed due to the settlement of people from the Alpujarra and Motril as well as the cultivation of the area
