It dates from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. Important works were carried out under the Catholic Monarchs in the 15th century. One of the larges castles in Castilla y León.

It used to be a state prison, and many important politicians and military men of the 16th and 17th centuries served time in it. The staircase, built in the walls, leads to the tower and was built during the restoration works of 1923 and 1940.

The present building is the result of the restoration works which left the interior distribution of the building untouched, except for the entrance hall and the access to the tower of homage, where modern structures were attached. It holds courses, seminars and conferences.
