The castle of Quesa is a fortress of Arab origin built in the eleventh century and abandoned after the Christian conquest. It stands beside the town centre and keeps remains of walls and towers, so the complex allows the layout of the old fortification to be recognised. It is one of the oldest heritage elements in the municipality, and its position close to the present core helps to explain the relationship between the settlement and its defence. The surviving remains are therefore the main material trace of that period and one of the reference points for studying the history of the site.
