The mill is a hydraulic construction of at least Roman times that served for the grinding of cereal. The initial remains could be dated in the Roman era, but then much improved in the 16th century when it was bought by Francisco de los Cobos. The existing remains allow to contemplate several arches of the aqueduct, the water storage tank and hydraulic drive.

It is possibly the Muslim castle referred to in the 1243 delimitation between the episcopal headquarters of Baeza and the Archbishop of Toledo. Known as Ullurauam. In a territory between the Jandulilla River and the Guadiana Minor River, which would be identified as Larva. It is located near the current population of Larva, on a well-ridden hill, with a polygonal plant and two enclosures. Its construction is of tapial alternating with masonry. It keeps its perimeter walled and several towers. Then, because of the border situation and the demographic vacuum, this castle would run the same destination as that of Cabra, abandoned in a neutral area. Roman remains have also been found as a tegola.

Cobos not only had territorial jurisdiction over these populations, but also exercised strong control over all of them of their Councils and their inhabitants.

In Torres, apart from certain actions to preserve the medieval castle, the Council planned various works throughout the 16th century, such as the capitular houses, the posite, the reform of the parish temple and a bridge, absolutely necessary to unite the town with the site of the Fuenmayor, where the mills of the secretary Cobos were located, by which the neighbors were required to pass. In the population, the only one who had a privilege to build mills was Cobos and his wife, Maria de Mendoza. Their control assured them of a safe income, so it was absolutely necessary to keep the bridge in good condition.

Dead Cobos, Mrs. Maria de Mendoza, through his butler Bartolomé Ximénez, ordered the Council to make a new bridge, as the old man was destroyed by a heavy storm. The project was carried out by Andrés de Vandelvira, an architect at the service of the family of Cobos. According to María José Sánchez Lozano the works began in 1561, and the following year the Council agreed that all that was left to rise from it should be done according to the trace of Andrés de Vandelvira: "(...) I saw what is left to be made of the work of the bridge that is to be done in the river of the said villa for the passage of the mills of the bread of his lordship (...) command that everything that is left to be made of the bridge be done by the trace that has given Andrés de Vandelvira (...). The bridge, which is currently preserved, although removed, is made of stone and has a single half-point eye rather high, as the ravine on which it rises is very deep in this area.

Vandelvira draws a bridge without great pretensions, without decorative attachments, in which security and permanence in time must take precedence over other aspects. Vandelvira will be an experienced bridge builder, sometimes simple as this one of Torres, others of great architectural and engineering monumental, such as those raised on the channels of the Guadalmena, Guadalimar (Ariza) and Guadalquivir (Mazuecos) rivers.
