This defense fortification was built on the remains of a previous fortress by the Order of Santiago, which placed the center of the Commandery of Castile there.
It has suffered throughout history various processes of abandonment and inconsideration. In the 1960s a restoration took place that, with greater or lesser success, has allowed us to fit out this historic building as a public space. At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, it underwent another adaptation process that, also, with greater or lesser success, has led us to reflect on museographic intervention.
