Calaceite

A museum has been created in Calaceite in order to commemorate and spread knowledge of the figure of Joan Cabré (1882-1947), an illustrious archaeologist.

Calaceite is located on the eastern slope of a hill, between the valleys of the Matarraña and Algás rivers. It is a delightful town with beautiful things to see: the parish church of La Asunción (17th-18th centuries), a Baroque building with three naves and a magnificent façade; the Renaissance-style Town Hall; the Chapel of San Antonio (17th century), situated above the crossing of San Antonio Street; and the hermitages of San Roque (17th-19th century) and the Virgen del Pilar (18th century). There is also a Gothic terminal cross (13th-14th c.) with an octagonal pillar and a simple base, which was rebuilt in the 15th century. Calaceite also preserves numerous buildings from the 18th century. The municipal area of Calaceite is home to the Iberian archaeological site of San Antonio, where archaeological items have been discovered dating back to the 5th century.
