Taravilla as the village of Común Molinés was built at the time of the repopulation, and we know that the lady Doña Blanca was very fond of this enclave. Doña Blanca de Molina He had a forest in his territory, on the banks of the river Cabrillas, dedicated to hunting, and it seems that he built a palace-house there, where he lived for short periods of time. On his death, he left practically the whole of Taravilla as communal pastureland for the Council.

The Tower of Doña Blanca is located on a high and almost inaccessible promontory where the river Cabrillas flows into the Tagus, where some ruins can still be seen, apparently of a Celtiberian fort, later used as a medieval watchtower, with a narrow entrance and the remains of weapons and other military equipment.
