The museum is housed in a 17th century house on the main street of Cantavieja leading to the impressive main square. From there we propose a journey through time to discover those mountains that in the nineteenth century jumped to the forefront of the news as a stronghold of the Carlist insurgency.
The 19th century was a century of conflicts for the towns of the region. Cantavieja becomes the capital of Carlism and from its medieval walls General Cabrera will be forming a strong army. The myth of Cabrera spreads like wildfire from these mountains and his reputation as a fierce fighter makes him “The Tiger of Maestrazgo”.
In the museum we will see the capture of Mirambel through a model, a cannon cast in Cantavieja exact replica of the original, engravings of the main strongholds and illustrations and caricatures of the press of the time, travel and biographical books, etc. in addition to a documentation center related to the civil wars of the nineteenth century.
