The Jayran Walls head North to the "Cerro de San Cristobal", built during the Kingdom of Jairán (1012-1028) in the 11th century .
The Muslims built 3 square towers on this hill, known by them as Laham hill, and the Knights Templar added four semicircular ones after the Christian conquest of the city ​​by Alfonso VII in 1147. They are all ruins.
