This Military Order played an important role in the reconquest of the town in 1157, the oldest units dating from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, highlighting the chapel, the cloister and the keep with important mural paintings of linear Gothic style, early century XIV, with juglarescos and chivalrous subjects. The facade is from the 16th century.

During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries elements of ornamentation Mudejar were added to both the castle itself and the walls that surrounded it.
