After the defeat of the Arabs of Tortosa by Count Ramon Berenguer IV, the lands and coast of the Alfama desert were not a safe passage for the new Christian conquerors and settlers, constantly attacked, both by land and sea, by the crews of the Saracen ships that often sought refuge in the coves along this coast. Peter II devised and founded the order of new formation for the defense of the coastal territory. The foundation of the Order of Sant Jordi of Alfama took place in 1201; at the same time, the king granted lands and assets to the Templar Joan d'Almenara, who acted as almoner and royal administrator with the task of raising funds for the construction of a fortress. The castle endured through its moments of glory and misery for three hundred years.
