Description

This Castle of Muslim origin, which makes use of the previous foundations.

This fortress owes its origin to the strategic geographic location where it is situated, the so called Moorish Strip, which was the frontier with the Kingdom of Granada, and its name, which according to tradition, the wild boards from the nearby forest sharpened their fangs on the rocky surface on which it is erected.

This fortress possesses an enclouser built to protect the water well which existed at the time, the most important spring water source (Source of the Aguzaderas) in all of the countryside, which justifies the location of the castle on flat terrain instead of elevated, so it could be easily defended.

Elements that make up what

This fortress has an enclosure which forms a quadrangle with four turrets, one in each corner and two semicircles in the middle of two of its walls apart from an imposing keep with two spacious rooms. We can see that some of its walls are over three meters thick.
