[1][2] Built in its current layout in approximately 1857, the main building is the manor house known as El Casón de Riquelme, which initially consisted of one story to which a series of secondary buildings were added surrounding an enclosed central patio, which was later to be divided into two: labourers' lodgings, stables, dovecots, water tanks, olive oil mills, barns, the use of which date back to the Roman Villas and Muslim hamlets.
As a dryland farm, production was limited to a few olive trees, cereals, almonds and esparto, which was only profitable if it rained enough.
