The most famous historic site on the area. Perched on the San Miguel Hill, with commanding views of Almu\u00f1\u00e9car, this Arab stronghold occupies a site once utilized by Phoenicians and Romans, evident from various historical sources and remnants of Roman constructions. The castle\u2019s architecture distinctly reflects its Moorish origins, having served as a retreat for the Nasrid dynasty during the 13th century. In the later years of King Ferdinand\u2019s reign in the 16th century, defensive enhancements including a moat, drawbridge, and an imposing entrance fa\u00e7ade with four circular towers were added. The castle endured bombardment during the War of Independence against the French by English forces, leaving it in a state of disrepair. It later functioned as a Christian cemetery until the mid-20th century. Notably, a neoclassical pavilion, seemingly unrelated to the castle\u2019s design and possibly constructed in the 18th century, now houses the City Museum.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00a0Its building completed in 1771 as as part of improvements in the coastal defense of the former Kingdom of Granada during the reign of Charles III. Its original designation was “Battery for four cannons of La Herradura”.<\/p>

Currently, it is located in the plain of said locality, as due to coastal regression, its distance to the beach is 120 meters. Its initial placement, closer to the coastline and slightly off-center with respect to the wide bay of La Herradura, was ideal for better protection of the mouth of the Jate River, a water source and quick access point to inland towns. From there, it was possible to repel an attack from the sea or prevent a landing anywhere on its extensive beach.<\/p>

It was used by the army until 1839, when, after piracy was extinguished, it was handed over to the Carabineros Corps. Their mission was to guarantee the security and surveillance of the coasts and borders, as well as to prevent smuggling. After the dissolution of the Carabineros Corps in 1940, it was occupied by the Civil Guard, which used it as a combined residence and barracks until 2003. Acquired by the Town Hall two years later, it commissioned its restoration and process of museumization.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
