Miravet

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Miravet és un dels pobles més bonics de Catalunya, i una icona de les Terres del Ebre. La seva llarga historia inclou ibers, romans, musulmans, jueus, cavallers templers i fins i tot, la batalla del Ebre, al 1938.

En especial la historia militar del poble i el castell és llarga i variada. D'origen islamic en la seva estructura actual, però segur que inicialment iber/ilercavó, després fou ocupat pels templers (on foren assetjats durant mesos quan s'ordenà la persecució de l'ordre pel papa de Roma) i els hospitalers. També s'hi va lluitar a la Guerra dels Segadors i a la de Sucessió (a les carlinades). El darrer combat fou el 25 de juliol de 1938, al inici de la batalla de l'Ebre. Unes poques tropes feixistes hi foren encerclades pels republicans i es rendiren el mateix dia. Tot i aquesta llarga i conflictiva historia, el castell i el poble han sobreviscut notablement sencers, cosa extranya, a Catalunya.

Per altra banda, molts pintors han retratat les seves notables edificacións, i a nivell personal, el meu pare en feu diversos quadres.

=======================

Miravet is one of the most beautiful villages in Catalonia, and an icon of the Terres del Ebre, the lands arround the river Ebre. Its long history includes Iberians, Romans, Muslims, Jews, Knights Templar and even the Battle of the Ebro in 1938.

In particular, the military history of the village and the castle is long and varied. Of Islamic origin in its current structure, but certainly initially Iberian/Ilercavonian, then it was occupied by the Knights Templar (where they were besieged for months when the persecution of the order was ordered by the Pope of Rome) and the Hospitallers. It was also fought in the War of the Reapers and the War of Succession. The last combat was on July 25, 1938, at the beginning of the Battle of the Ebro. A few fascist troops were surrounded by the republicans and surrendered the same day. Despite this long and conflicting history, the castle and the town have survived remarkably intact, which is strange in Catalonia.

On the other hand, many painters (my father among them) have portrayed their remarkable buildings.
