Very deteriorated, although the remains are impressive due to the height of the walls.

Although there is data on the existence of the town already in Arab times, the current name of the town is due to the master of the Order of Santiago García Fernández, who gave the town his own name, villa-García, as the nickname for the town. The rest of the name, the tower, is justified by the existence of its notable tower. The powerful stately castle of Villagarcía de la Torre was built in the 15th century, and remained almost intact until the War of Independence, during which it served as a blood hospital for the French, later being razed by General Morillo during the wars. Carlists. Currently, only the keep and other remains remain, on which the arms of the first Lord of the town, Don Luis Ponce de León, still stand. It preserves its powerful keep, some square towers and round cubes, and a good part of the exterior walls. It's a shame that it is in a state of ruin. Some walls and towers remain. Inside, today open-plan and uncovered, the openings of the missing roofs, as well as some towers, have had to be shored up.
