It was occupied by the French during the War of Independence. In 1838, during the First Carlist War, (1833-1840), the Carlist general Ramón Cabrera took and fortified the castle. In February 1840, General Espartero's royalist troops managed to defeat Cabrera and liberate the castle. Due to the fighting that took place, the fortification was destroyed.
