The only remains of this castle are a rammed earth tower built by the Muslims prior to the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa. In 1169, this castle was conquered by Calatravo Knights commanded by Fernando de Icaza, second Master of the Order.

The cave known as Cueva de los Muñecos (Cave of the Dolls) is located in one of the most rugged spots in the Sierra Morena, within the Despeñaperros Natural Park. It sits in a ravine between huge blocks of stone.
