There is evidence that the Monda castle began to be built between the 9th and 10th centuries, but it was not until the 12th century that the Almohads provided the fortification with certain elements, such as towers and a cistern. It is located on the Villeta promontory, almost 400 meters above sea level. Today it is used as a hotel-restaurant.
