Castle of the order of Calatrava - Castle Hotel

Built on the la Cumbre Cerro Pui Pinos hill top, the 12th-13th Century castle-convent was converted to the seat of the Order of Calatrava in 1179. The Parador, which dominates the Maestrazgo landscape, has preserved the Tower of Homage, the belfry-sacristy, and the section converted into an Aragonese Palace in the 18th Century.

The interior features gothic murals, a Plateresque sepulchre and baroque façade decorated with red, ochre and green shades as well as oak beams. There is also a peaceful garden area. The hotel provides a large number of excursions and adventure sports activities.


Comforting Aragonese Cuisine You must try the huevos a la alcañizana (Alcañiz-style egg dish), ternasco asado (young roast lamb), or the tortas de Alma y los almendrados (almond tart). Somontano and Cariñena wines are the perfect accompaniment for enjoying these culinary delights.
