Castillo de Huéneja
The best-preserved section of the castle is the western part, where the remains of towers can be found in the south-west and north-west corners. There are also sections of walls between the houses that occupy the neighbourhood, many of which are caves. These remains are made of masonry and filled with a mixture of earth, lime and rubble. The remains of the wall in the south- east corner are even larger. They are also located between houses and serve as the foundation of one of them. They are only visible from the opposite slope. This section measures approximately 7x3 metres and contains just over three caisson-stone rammed earth boxes on a small masonry base. According to testimony provided by Madoz in his nineteenth-century writing, the cistern appears to be preserved inside one of the houses. However, the small number of visible structures makes interpretation difficult. There is evidence of Hueñeja (Winya) dating back to the ninth century during the Emirate's revolt. It would have been one of the castles loyal to the Umayyads and Hisham, the uncle of Emir Abd al-Rahman II, stayed there for several days in 896. The remains we see today, however, may not be related to the original castle, but rather to the castle known as 'Montaire Castle', which is mentioned in the eleventh century in relation to the struggles between the Taifa kingdoms of Almería and Granada. It is located on Calle Castillo.
