Image of La Fresneda, not of the place itself.

The Carlist general Ramón Cabrera ordered the castle destroyed, during the First Carlist War (1833-1840), before leaving the town so that it would not serve as a fortification for the liberal troops. Of the medieval enclosure only remains are left on the hill of Santa Bárbara, which dominates the houses from the north.
