Mengano, Carlista Cantaviejano.

Templar Castle, Cantavieja. The route continues to the remains of the ancient Templar Castle, located on top of the rocky escarpment overlooking the village. Its walls witnessed many historical episodes, from its origin linked to the Order of the Temple to its strategic role during the Carlist Wars. In this place the importance that Cantavieja had as a bastion of Carlism stands out, being one of the main command centers of General Ramón Cabrera. The fortress, although in ruins, allows to understand its defensive use, of surveillance and control of the territory, as well as its adaptation to the warlike necessities of different times. Cabrera when taking the control of the Carlist troops in the East, decides to establish in Cantavieja the military capital of the east front, ordering to erect in the space where the castle was an artillery center and foundry where the armament available for the conflict was produced. The Carlists abandoned Cantavieja in 1839 after the siege of the liberals during the winter. However, Cabrera ordered the destruction of all the defensive emplacements built for the war, leaving scarce vestiges of the castle, forts and walls. From here, in addition, you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of the surroundings, which reinforces the military and symbolic value of the castle in the history of Cantavieja and in the defense of the Maestrazgo during the nineteenth century.

The Church of the Assumption is one of the most representative baroque temples of Maestrazgo, Built by the Cantaviejanos in 1730, in the image of the Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza, it is one of the largest churches in the province of Teruel. This church like others, was used as a refuge during the Carlist wars playing a fundamental role during the liberal assault on Cantavieja in the Third Carlist War, it is here in the place where the crypt is located where the main Carlist leaders signed the surrender of the town in 1875 after several days of bombardment of the town where more than 35,000 projectiles were counted.

House of the Osset family, Cantavieja. As we advance through the cobblestone streets and leave the bell tower behind, we stop in front of the facade of the Casa de los Osset, a stately building that preserves the essence of the traditional architecture of Alto Maestrazgo. This building is especially relevant for having been the residence of Ramón Cabrera, one of the main Carlist leaders, during the most intense years of the First Carlist War. From here, the so-called "Tiger of Maestrazgo" coordinated military operations and strategic decisions that deeply marked the history of the region. Although only the exteriors are visited, the house, with its sober ashlar façade and robust structure, offers a vivid image of Cantavieja's wartime past. The visit allows to contextualize the importance of this enclave within the conflict and to bring the visitor closer to the daily life of General Cabrera during his stay in the village.

Council Hall (Town Hall), Cantavieja. This is a large medieval hall from the 14th century in which local institutions met to discuss decisions regarding the organization, justice and market. In the Council Hall, the fundamental role played by this institution in the life of the municipality is explained in detail: community decision-making, allocation of resources, control of order and, in times of conflict, coordination of local militias. As a testimony of that time, the municipal archive preserves unique pieces such as the stature meter and the drum of destiny of the quintos, symbols of the compulsory service to which the local youths were subjected.

The Cantavieja Tourist Office houses the interesting Museum of the Carlist Wars, a space dedicated to preserving and disseminating this fundamental episode in the history of Maestrazgo.

The Church of San Miguel, is one of the most important monuments of the municipality, A temple built in 1411 by the Castellan of Amposta, Gonzalo de Funes to house his remains, The temple retains the original Gothic architecture and the tomb of Gonzalo de Funes. During the First Carlist War this temple was used as an arsenal, housing much of the weaponry that the troops needed to defend the town. This fact reveals not only the religious character of the building, but also its strategic importance.
