The rectangular Castillo de La Calahorra rises on a hill 60 meters above La Calahorra. It was built between 1509 and 1512 by the Marquis Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar y Mendoza, an illegitimate son of Cardinal Mendoza. During the Moorish attacks from 1568 to 1571, the castle withstood the attacks and offered refuge to some of the inhabitants of La Calahorra.

La Calahorra is a small municipality that has been suffering from rural exodus for many years. In the 1940s, the town still had over 2,000 inhabitants, today there are only around 650. As a result, there are many abandoned and derelict buildings in the town.
