The town of Murla developed around this fortified church over time, with the origins of the castle itself dating back to the early centuries of Muslim rule. The strategic location of the castle and parish church of San Miguel Arcángel allowed control of the passage between L'Alcoià and La Marina Alta, as well as protection for the population from frequent pirate attacks.
