Origin of name
The village's name, which means "Tower of Esteban Hambrán" in English, may be derived from a 13th-century Muslim tower belonging to a Mozarab named Esteban Ambrán. The tower was used to communicate, by means of fire signals, with the distant Castle of Alamín.
History
The town was founded by the Romans in 171 BC, but little is known about the Roman era of the village. After the Reconquista, the area around the "Esteban Hambrán" tower became populated. In the early 15th century, the land belonged to Pero López de Ayala. The village was bought in 1436 by Álvaro de Luna. When some years later John II of Castile confiscated the place, the village became crown property.
Demography
The population was 1,756 in 2006.
