Originally built on Muslim fortifications, the castle dates mainly from the 14th century, with evidence of later reconstruction phases (15th century). It is a National Monument and stands out for its defensive architecture. Although some parts are in ruins, it retains original elements such as the menagem tower (keep), arrow slits and sections of the wall, offering a glimpse into the military history of the region.
