The original construction could have been the work of the Almohads, who used to use the rammed earth technique for their defensive buildings.
The remains of rammed earth walls in this castle, traditionally attributed to the Almohad period, were actually built during the first decades of Christian rule, at the end of the 13th century or the beginning of the 14th century.
In the 14th century, Almansa and its fortress were incorporated into the Villena manor. Don Juan Manuel took advantage of the previous construction and ordered its walls to be rebuilt.

The castle of Almohad origin is located on the hill of the Eagle. It has played an important role throughout history due to its position right on the edge of the La Mancha plateau.
Today it can be visited and continues to be the protagonist in the major Moors and Christians festivals.
