It is the oldest still standing in Andalusia and has witnessed the presence of historical figures such as kings, politicians and bandits.

Inside, there is a dungeon where the bandit Luis Candelas spent the night and a room where prisoners were held. A shackle from the period is also preserved. The inn was the scene of several robberies, including one by a bandit gang in 1850. Today it houses a restaurant and the Museum of Andalusian Banditry, and was formerly a cultural centre with exhibitions and various activities.
