Located in the highest part of the town, it is undoubtedly the most representative monument of Atienza.Used by the Celtiberians and then by the Arabs who built a strong citadel, it was renovated by the Christians after the Reconquista.During the Middle Ages it changed hands numerous times between the 9th and 11th centuries. It was occupied by Alfonso III, Almanzor and Sancho García, among others, to be definitively taken by Alfonso I of Aragon, King consort of Castile due to his marriage to Urraca I. He is named in El Cantar de Mío Cid, referring to him as "very strong rock."
