The development of the population would arrive with the Roman Republic, and later with the Empire, until in century II of ours was would decline its importance beginning a destruction process. Despite these data, Alanís it is mentioned for the first time like so in a document of 1,392, when the true castle was born of the place that was preceded of fortified constructions, since the strategic value of the zone made its constant safekeeping recommendable.
