Castillo de Torre Alver
This castle was built as a surveillance point over the secondary pass between ndalusia and La Mancha, commonly known as the Camino de Castellar de la Mata (today Castellar de Santiago). Its construction is attributed to the Almohads, although other evidence highlights that it was used to reinforce the borders after the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212). It was in operation until the fall of Santisteban in 1235, most likely abandoned due to the sale of Santisteban to Fernando III. Today, it sits in a ruinous state, with one of its most visible walls pierced with an enormous hole. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.
