It
is
an
Islamic
fortress
built
in
the
10th
century.
The
castle
is
built
on
an
ancient
site
of
a
prehistoric
settlement.
After
the
Reconquest
and
the
capture
of
the
castle
by
the
Christians,
the
fortress
passed
into
the
hands
of
the
Order
of
Santiago.
Between
the
18th
and
19th
centuries
it
was
already
in
a
state
of
ruin.
During
the
Civil
War
the
castle
was
used
by
the
Republicans
as
a
fortified
post.
It
is
currently
in
very
poor
condition
and
attempts
have
been
made
to
restore
it
on
several
occasions,
leaving
the
castle
with
a
structure
of
scaffolding
and
cranes
around
it.
It
is
worth
noting
its
homage
tower
and
its
impressive
moat

Durante

Civil
el
castillo
fue
usado
por
los
republicanos
como
puesto
fortificado.
Actualmente
se
encuentra
en
muy
mal
estado
y
se
ha
intentado
restaurar
en
varias
ocasiones,
quedando
el
castillo
con
una
estructura
de
andamios
y
grúas
a
su
alrededor.
Cabe
destacar
su
torre
del
homenaje
y
su
impresionante
foso
