More information

Later it was a direct witness to the Peninsular War and the Carlist wars. Like the rest of the town centre, it suffered the devastating effects of the Francoist bombing. Móra d'Ebre acted as a distribution centre for men and materiel, with several bridges linking it to the other bank of the Ebro, which made it a priority target for the air force.

About 350 metres of outer walls survive, along with two Arab towers and old rooms that open onto a large terrace.
