The town has given rise to numerous legends about witches and sabbaths, some of which were recreated by the romantic writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. It is the only Spanish town officially cursed and excommunicated by the Catholic Church. The excommunication has never been revoked.[3][4]

Trasmoz is a town steeped in witchcraft. Each year, a citizen is awarded with the distinction "Bruja del Año" (Witch of the year) in recognition of the services for the community,[5] for remembrance, white plaques are installed on the front door of the awarded person's house.


History



Middle Ages


The origin of the village can be tracked back to the 12th century, when the lordship of Trasmoz was founded. It alternately belonged to the Kingdom of Navarre and the Kingdom of Aragon until Jaime I, king of Aragón, definitively conquered it in 1232. In 1437 Alfonso V put it under the authority of Don Lope Ximenez de Urrea (I count of Aranda).


Modern Ages


After the death of Lope, his two sons fought for the Señorío de Trasmoz. Finally, the youngest, Pedro Manuel Ximenez de Urrea won. Pedro Manuel had a conflict, very close to a civil war, with Veruela Abbey for the irrigation water. The response from the Abbey was a curse and the excommunication of the whole town.

About 1530 the Castle of Trasmoz was abandoned. Afterwards, there was a fire in the tower of homage, and a significant fraction of building materials were reused.
