The dwelling known as Casa fuerte de la Vega de Arias, located near Tierzo, dates back to the 12th century. Its original construction, evident in the southern wall and the external crenellated wall, was expanded between the 14th and 15th centuries during the height of the Señorío de Molina. This period saw the addition of towers and defensive buildings.
The entrance gate features a pointed arch crowned by a machicolation. Throughout its history, the property belonged to various landowning families of Molina, including the Salinas, the Castejón de Andrade, and the Arauz de Robles.
Currently, it remains a private estate. In 2007, José Luis García de Paz published a detailed account of the fortifications in Castillos y fortificaciones de Guadalajara. Multimedia regarding the site can be found in a category on Wikimedia Commons.
