Built during Muslim rule, the fortress served as a military stronghold through medieval times and later became an ecclesiastical prison during various conflicts.

The structure holds the designation of Historic-Artistic Monument, representing the architectural methods and defensive strategies of medieval Spanish fortifications.

The castle remains open to visitors 24 hours daily, with access through hiking trails that start from the village center of Chulilla.
