The castle of Bullas is a castle located in Peña Rubia de Cehegín, Bullas, Murcia.[1]
Of muslim origin, it was built between the XII and XIII centuries, before the Castillian conquest.[2] After the Mudéjar revolt of 1264–1266, it was given to the Templar Order together with the neighbouring area.[1]
In 1286 it was entrusted to the Emirate of Granada, causing the treachery of king Sancho IV of Castile.[1]
Later on, Fernán Pérez de Guzmán and the Knights Templar recovered it.[1] After the abolition of the order in 1312,[3] it belonged to the Order of Santiago.[1]
In the XVII and XVIII centuries, the castle's stones were used for the construction of homes.[2] Nowadays only remnants survive of the Casco Viejo.[2]
