It is a small castle, compared to other castles found in the province of Almeria, but of equal architectural and historical importance.
It has not yet been determined exactly if its origin is Nasrid or Berber, but it can be said that it has influences from the Arab world.
Nor is it known exactly when it was built, but there are records dating back to 1506, which state that it was restored at that time.
It has just 7 dependencies, and although it was in a state of advanced deterioration, it was recently restored, not only to improve its appearance and preserve this Andalusian historical heritage, but also to create walkways that facilitate access, so that it can be of greater interest for visitors.
Those who visit the castle can also enjoy the cistern that is on one side of it, and that was the original reservoir of water that supplied the residents of this magnificent construction.
