Castell de Miravet

The castle rises 115 meters above the Ebro River, featuring thick perimeter walls, towers, stables, a cistern, a kitchen, and a Romanesque church.

After the Muslim defeat in 1153, Ramon Berenguer IV transferred the castle to Pere de Rovira, master of the Knights Templar in Hispania and Provence.

The architecture combines military and religious elements, reflecting the Templar influence through its uniformity of construction and defensive features from Terra Santa castles.

The fortress entrance includes a car park near the north wall, with access through a meandering road that follows the defensive perimeter.

The main church contains a single nave with double-height barrel-vaulting ceiling, positioned on the first floor of the architectural complex.
