These constructions, from the 10th century and of Arab origin, were built on an ancient Roman fortress. In the Villa Vieja you can visit unique spots that allow you to know what the town was like in the 16th century.
The Torre de Doña Blanca had a prisoner until her last days: Queen Blanche of Bourbon, wife of Peter of Castile.
