The original construction could have been the work of the Almohads, who often used 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 beginning of the 14th century.

In the 14th century, Almansa and its fortress were incorporated into the lordship of Villena. Don Juan Manuel took advantage of the previous construction and ordered its walls to be rebuilt.

A fortress built in the 14th century on a rocky hill. It played an important role in the Spanish War of Independence, since it was taken over by French troops in 1810 and used as a prison. It can be visited to learn about its history and architecture. In addition, each year there is a historical re-enactment of the battle that took place around the castle in 1707, known as the Battle of Almansa.
