Built on the top of the hill this 12th-13th century castle-convent became the seat of the Order of Calatrava in 1179. Dominating the landscape of the Maestrazgo, it conserves the keep, the bell tower-sacristy and the part reconverted into an 18th Aragonese palace.
Gothic walls, plateresque tomb and baroque facade are inserted into an interior with soft, orange-coloured shades, adorned with Spanish wood furniture and beams. As in the rest of the building, the lobby features gothic wall-paintings.
The 32 rooms feature wood beamed ceilings, and are austere and modestly ornamented to the keep the charm and the atmosphere of the past centuries when this castle was first built although all provide modern facilities. The rooms have marble bathrooms.
