The archaeological complex stretches across 3,200 square meters at the summit of Cerro del Castillo, standing 754 meters above sea level.

The fortress emerged in the late 11th century during the first Taifa period and expanded with a palace complex in the second half of the 12th century.

The excavated area reveals fourteen buildings following the Hispano-Andalusian design, with central courtyards organizing the surrounding rooms.
