The Torre de Los Casares, a 9th-century Muslim defensive tower, is located on the hillside where a Berber settlement was inhabited for 300 years. This tower, with its entrance at a height oriented to the south, has two floors with false vaults.
Beneath the tower is the Cueva de los Casares, a cave containing prehistoric engravings and paintings along with archaeological, paleontological and paleoanthropological remains. In the surroundings of the tower, ceramics and coins from the Zaragoza mint have been discovered.
The tower was once included in the red list of heritage due to its progressive state of ruin, but it was subsequently removed following a restoration.
