In 1102, Peter I of Aragon and Pamplona granted it the Caparroso frontier charter; Sancho VI the Wise of Navarre and Sancho VII the Strong of Navarre updated its pechas (tax in the Kingdom of Navarre) in 1191 and 1210, respectively. The castle was built in the 13th century and the iconic <strong>Santacara Towe<\/strong>r, a local landmark, still stands today.
