Ajuntament d'Horta de Sant Joan

Terra Alta -South Catalonia

 

In this area of Terres de l'Ebre and the neighboring Maestrat, the religious and military orders of the Templars and Hospitallers played a major role.

The Knights Templar & the Knights Hospitaller took part in the campaigns of territorial expansion and in the military actions of the Catalan monarchy from 12th to the 15th centuries.

These counties have good examples of religious, civil and industrial architecture and an exceptional military ensemble is concentrated here, as both orders played an important role in the colonization of the territory.
