Castle of Muslim origin, built around the 12th century and which passed into Christian hands after the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, it is a military type castle with a walled enclosure, of which today only remains are preserved. of a tower and part of the wall. But like the Montesinos Cave, the greatest importance of the castle may be literary, since around the castle there are the oldest known medieval romances, those of "ROSAFLORIDA AND FONTEFRIDA", Rosaflorida, is the owner of the castle in love with the noble Montesinos and Fontefrida is the fountain at the entrance to the castle.
