Built in the 15th century by Don Pedro Zúñiga, it was conceived to defend and monitor the land in the area that was regularly lashed by pirates. In the 16th century it was reinforced by adding defense elements and towards the end of the 17th century it was a refuge for citizens from Portuguese attacks.

Luckily today it is in perfect condition and has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985.
