Puertomingalvo
Member of Los Pueblos más Bonitos de España
At 1,456 metres in the Maestrazgo uplands, a rocky outcrop carries Puertomingalvo and its castle, one of the best-preserved fortresses in the area and a natural lookout. Below it a tangle of narrow streets holds Levantine Gothic houses and a stone town hall from the 14th and 15th centuries, with paired windows, a carved wooden eave and a small castle interpretation centre inside.
Highlights
- The castle, recorded in 1202 under the Arabic name Avingalbón
- The Casa de la Villa, with arched doorways and paired upper windows
- The Baroque church of the Asunción y San Blas, its tower a lookout
- Portal Alto and Portalico, gateways in the old walls
- La Torre Pintada, a fortified farmhouse about five kilometres away
