The city of Xàbia was protected and surrounded by fortified walls since 1874, the year which marked the definitive demolition of the defensive walls now surrounded by the present day ring roads. Hundreds of years previously, the early historical city centre of Xàbia possessed a defensive wall fortification since the beginning of the 14th Century of which now hardly any evidence remains. The detected ruins in this sector of the Avenida Príncipe de Asturias, the old ring road known as the “muralla de arriba” (upper wall), correspond to the wall, three buttress embankments which formed a type of barbican or rampart built at a relatively recent time in the early 19th Century; probably when the “new doorway” or Portal Nou was opened (18th of May 1805), or perhaps as a consequence of the Napoleonic war. These wall-faces, which have only conserved a 40/50 cm height today, are made with limestone masonry which were crafted with lime-based mortar, which used the local “tosca” (sandstone) blocks in the front section of the buttress embankments. The modern architectural intervention has consisted in consolidating and protecting the original work, which have raised the wall-faces approx. 60 cm to make them more visible.

This castle was built on mount Tossal during the War of Independence against the French in 1813, according to the project of the military engineer Pablo Ordobas, at that time Commander of the Plaza de Alicante, it was made with the purpose of being a prison and to reinforce the defense possibilities of Santa Bárbara Castle. It never came into service, since there was finally no French occupation in Alicante, however, it was close because the French general Louis-Pierre Montbrun bombed the city on January 16, 1812 from the area of ​​Altozano (near the Church of Los Angeles). Apparently, it was a preview of the real attack he intended to take over the city, which did not occur because the general and his troops that same day went to France, recalled for the invasion of Russia. It was a rather sloppy work that was built quickly and badly, because after a short time it began to show structure flaws, in addition to being militarily useless, while costly. Next to the access to the castle is the Monument to the "Heroes Alicantinos de la Independencia".
