Carrer del Riu, 1-9, 43747 Miravet, Catalunya, Spain
Description:
Miravet Castle is a medieval castle-fortress located on top of a rocky cliff in the foothills of the province of Tarragona. The castle was founded in the 12th century by Muslim rulers.
It stands on a rock about 100 meters high and is divided into lower and central zones. The lower part consists of three terraces and is the wall surrounding the castle territory, and the central part is a polygon with five towers and buttresses.
In 1153, the castle was rebuilt by the Knights of the Templar Order and was considered one of the largest fortresses in Catalonia and one of the finest examples of Romanesque-Gothic architecture of the Templar Order in the West.
Arriving here, you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, wander through the wine cellars, see the refectory, cellars and barns of the castle.
