Its history is a mystery, but news arrives from the year 1116, during a battle between the Christians of Toledo and the Muslims of Oreja. Warden Farax Abdalí was defeated near the Christian castle of Polán, which was perhaps under construction at the time.

The castle of Polán is a medieval fortification in the north of the urban area and its state is dilapidated. The best preserved part is a façade broken in its center, which leaves two strong towers on both sides, whose connecting wall has disappeared.

Although its history is not known for sure, some documents mention it already at the beginning of the 12th century and according to the current remains it is presumed that its dimensions were even larger than the current ruins.

This type of residential castle is very characteristic of the province of Toledo. This one in particular dates from the 15th century and is currently still inhabited, so we can only visit its exterior. Built by the then Count of Fuensalida, it was founded on an old Muslim fortress and after several centuries it has withstood wars, sieges, fires until it was rehabilitated after the Carlist wars.
