The castle's zone has been long populated, as evidenced by the findings of archaeological traces of the Iber and Roman periods.
The castle of Castielfabib seems to have an Arab origin, and it is known that it was conquered by Peter II of Aragon in 1210, after a long siege to the castle. When the conquest of the Prerincón ended, Peter II celebrated and presided over, during three days, General Corts of Aragon. After, the castle returned to the Muslim power, but it was definitively conquered by James I of Aragon.
In 1835, during the First Carlist War (1833-1840), the castle was rebuilt. When the National troops took the castle, they demolished the new works.
