History
Coronando el pueblo se encuentran las ruinas, muy deterioradas por el tiempo ya, del llamado Castillo de Acuña. Por su traza, posiblemente fue asentado sobre en pequeño fuerte de época romana similar a otros de la zona que controlaban las minas de lapis specularis. En los restos de sus muros podemos apreciar un recinto rectangular, con torres circulares, indicio de la última reconstrucción realizada en el siglo XV. La fortaleza debió de formar parte de la frontera entre el reino de Castilla y el taifa de Toledo, atribuyéndose su uso en el siglo XII a Alvar Fáñez. Está documentado que en el siglo XV Lope Vázquez de Acuña y Carrillo de Albornoz, I duque de Huete, los reconstruyó.
