Built by the Muslims, the castle known as the “Castillico" is open access, and when you visit it, you can see the remains of a fortress that Abu Ishaq Ibn Al-Hayy, from Velefique, ordered be built.
He was known to have been one of the representatives of Islam in the province of Almeria during the Nasrid period, and to finance the construction of castles, cisterns, mosques and other architectural works with their own money.
In the Castillico, pottery remains from the Nasrid period and other remains from a more modern period (16th century) have been found.
It conserves the base of the tower, of rectangular plant and realized in masonry, and two pieces of wall that form an angle on the Southeast side. In one of them stands the remains of a massive tower of small dimensions. It was listed as a Property of Cultural Interest in 1993 and its conservation status is not good, given that it has suffered damage caused by the agricultural machinery of the place.
