Trasmoz Castle

Aragonien · Spanien · Castle

The village of Trasmoz at the foot of Moncayo is the only one in Spain to have been excommunicated and cursed by the Church: after a feud with the monks of neighbouring Veruela abbey, the abbot pronounced a curse in the thirteenth century, draping the crucifix in black and reciting Psalm 108 – an act never revoked. For centuries the castle above the village was branded a den of witches, where sabbaths and black magic supposedly took place, legends immortalised by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer in his letters from Veruela in 1863. Today the castle houses a witchcraft museum and the village crowns a Witch of the Year, but its cursed reputation endures.
