Built in the XIII century, the first documentary mention is dated in 1335. It is one of the greatest peasant fortresses who helped defend the inhabitants of Barsa country for several centuries. The fortress preserved the ruins of over 30 houses designed to shelter the inhabitants of the settlement or their goods. The fortresses is located at a height of 500m which resulted in the construction of a connecting well with a depth of 146m. Legend says that the well would have been digged by the turkish prisoners 17 years, who carved koran verses in the walls of the well.
