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.
