Cantavieja is the capital of the Maestrazgo, since the Middle Ages, when the Knights presided over the commander of Cantavieja. In the 19th century, the Carlist, Ramon Cabrera also established its headquarters here, partly because of the strategic location of Cantavieja.
The old core is located on a rocky point that protrudes high above the landscape. As a result, a wall had to be built on one of the four sides in order to defend
Cantavieja
The original village wall can still be seen along the road to Mirambel, which starts at the Plaza de España (or Plaza Arrabal).
