Archaeological findings of Iberian and Bronze Age ceramics indicate settlement presence before the castle's Islamic construction in the 11th century.

The Homage Tower preserves four levels with late Gothic and Renaissance decorative elements, reflecting architectural evolution through different historical periods.
