The medieval Casa Forta de Miravet

The Casa Forta de Miravet is a medieval fortified house, in fact a small castle, located in the hamlet of Miravet within the current municipality of Castell de Mur. Situated on a hill at the defenses of the Castell de Mur, it is plausible that it served as an advanced tower towards the west.

Constructed with roughly worked stones joined with lime mortar, the building features a plan with rounded angles. While in a poor state of preservation, it still allows visitors to see the similarities in its layout to the neighboring Castell de Mur. Based on its construction characteristics, the work likely dates back to the 13th century or possibly even the 12th century.

To reach the site, one must first head towards the Castell de Mur. Just before arriving, there is a turn to the left that leads to an unpaved track where the ruins are located.
