Originally an Islamic building tentatively dating back to the 11th or 12th centuries, the castle passed to Christian control in the second half of the 12th century, returning to Muslim hands in 1195, to be soon conquered in 1197 by knights of the Order of Calatrava, who strengthened its defences.[5] It was seized by Almohads in 1211,[6] a year before the Battle of Las Navas. Christians passed over the place during the aforementioned campaign after taking the nearby castle of Calatrava, eventually deciding not to siege Salvatierra, but to directly go to find the Almohad Caliph instead.[7] It was taken again by Christians circa 1225–26.[6]
