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
