Calatrava commandery of the Matarraña

Historical milestone · Monroyo, Matarraña, Teruel

Image of Monroyo, not of the place itself.

Alfonso II handed a good part of the territory to the Order of Calatrava and the town remained the head of a commandery that grouped several villages, among them Fórnoles. From the Calatravan rule there remained the palace of the commandery, which Madoz still described in the nineteenth century.
