It was a site of great significance during the Enlightenment in Aragon, in the sieges of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War, and in the industrialization and electrification of the 20th century in the region. As such, it formed the historic nucleus of the current Casablanca neighborhood and district, to which it gave its current name due to its characteristic white walls. Today, it serves as a small hydroelectric power station and as a historic complex around which a park known for the Fountain of the Incredulous is organized. Since 2000 it has been protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest).
