The Alcazaba has its origins in Roman times, when the city of Regina Turdulorum was located in this area. However, the current fortress was built during the Almohad period in the 12th century. Later, in 1246, it was conquered by Ferdinand III and given to the Order of Santiago, becoming the head of an important commandery.

Located at 825 meters above sea level, the current ruins of the citadel are related to the ancient Roman city of Regina Turdulorum, which is located a few kilometers from here. He knew how to represent the political power of that population of 4000 inhabitants and strategically located for having a natural source of water very close.
