Tahal Castle, nestled in the Sierra de los Filabres, was built in the 15th and 16th centuries to control the routes between the Almanzora Valley and Tabernas.

Next to it, you can see the remains of a circular tower, the walled enclosure, and a cistern that provided water in the event of a siege.

The interior features a Latin cross plan with a single vaulted nave and a dome over the transept, as well as a quadrangular tower attached to the sanctuary.
