The castle of San Pedro de Latarce is one of the defensive buildings ordered to be built by King Alfonso IX of León, to reinforce the border against the kingdom of Castile at the end of the 12th century. Later in the Middle Ages, a castle of formwork masonry would be built on it, which included a large gate tower (during the time of María de Molina), becoming the property of the Knights Templar. It has an oval floor plan and was renovated by the Bazán family throughout the 15th century. Currently its general condition is one of progressive ruin, with only a closed wall of approximately 350 meters standing, being municipal property since 2013.
