It was a passing place for government columns and Carlist parties from very early dates. During 1834 Carnicer was the ringleader who most often made an appearance in the town with parties whose number ranged between two and three hundred armed men and fifty horses asking for rations of all kinds. That same year other Carlist leaders such as Montañés, Cabrera, Espallargas and García also entered, demanding rations and money for the troops.

As early as 1834, various events took place that spoke to the local inhabitants of the imminence of the coming war.
Health care became a basic service for a territory at war, where acts of arms caused as many casualties as the daily activity of the armies.
From 1836 Castellote became the gateway from the Carlist territory to Lower Aragon.
This Carlist control over the territory allowed the installation of support activities for the army in Cuevas de Cañart.
