The hermitage of San Cristóbal de Calaceite is a rural temple of the XVIII century located in the summit of the homonymous hill, in the vicinity of the urban helmet and within the landscape of the Matarraña of Teruel. It is a hermitage of ashlar masonry, of great dimensions, with unique ship, four sections and lateral chapels, which gives him a remarkable presence in the profile of the town and in the agricultural and low mountain environment that surrounds it. Its main interest is twofold: patrimonial and scenic. On the one hand, it is part of the group of historical hermitages of Calaceite and is linked to a local devotion documented at least since the first half of the eighteenth century; on the other hand, its elevated location makes it a natural viewpoint over the municipality and the soft and undulating relief characteristic of the region. The visit allows to appreciate the popular religious architecture of baroque tradition in a very representative enclave of the rural patrimony of Aragon. It is also a common place to visit on foot or on local itineraries because of its proximity to the village and the wide views, which help to understand the relationship between Calaceite, its topography and its agricultural landscape. There is no specific figure of environmental protection associated with the hill in the sources consulted, but it is listed in heritage and tourist reference directories of the region and Aragon.

The Juan Cabré Museum is a museum in Calaceite (Teruel, Aragon), under the Government of Aragon, dedicated to the figure of the Calaceite archaeologist Juan Cabré Aguiló and the dissemination of archaeological, artistic and ethnological heritage. It was born as a monographic museum about his life and work, and later expanded its contents to become a cultural center of reference in the field of archeology, contemporary plastic arts and ethnology. Its headquarters occupy an 18th century manor house located in the historic center of Calaceite. The building was built as a private home in 1790 and is an outstanding example of the civil architecture of its time; its museum adaptation respected many of the structural, functional and decorative elements of the old manor house. The collections are organized around three main themes: the figure of Juan Cabré, contemporary art and ethnology. This combination of traditional and modern collections gives the museum a unique personality within the Aragonese museum network, with special attention to research, conservation and dissemination of its collections. The museum is located in the old quarter of Calaceite, a town directly linked to the biography of Juan Cabré, born there in 1882. Its location and content make it a key heritage resource for understanding the cultural history of Matarraña and the relationship between local memory, archaeology and artistic heritage.
