En los tiempos de la independencia se construyeron allí, unos muros de piedra en una semana y sin ningún tipo de herramienta que sirvieron de trinchera al General José María Córdoba y 400 soldados de los municipios de El Peñol, Guatapé y San Rafael, con el objetivo de atacar la columna de Simón Bolívar quien venía con el ánimo de destruirlo, al estar enfrentados por problemas políticos de la famosa República de Colombia, pues Córdoba no compartía algunas de las ideologías de Bolívar y Santander dejando de ser su mejor general para convertirse en su más riguroso enemigo. La estrategia militar planeada por Córdoba en estas trincheras falló porque un soldado lo traicionó contando su plan a la otra guarnición y unos tres o cuatro días después fue asesinado en el municipio de El Santuario por un soldado que estaba bajo el mando del holandés Robert Hands.
