Monument · Castellote, Maestrazgo, Teruel

Hermitage in the municipality of Castellote, whose castle, of Templar origin, withstood an eleven-month siege ordered by Jaime II until it capitulated on 2 November 1308. On 23 March 1840 the liberal army under Espartero took it again, by then in Carlist hands, after a three-day siege.
