A fortress on a rise outside Alquife, tied from the start to the iron mines of the Marquesado and overlooking most of its villages. Its date is disputed: the article calls it Naṣrid and also says it was built in the 11th century under the Zīrids. The cistern, some towers and a stretch of wall partly survive.
