Prehistory talks each other of a territory inhabited from , as the archaeological remains testify found in area, of 30.000 years of antiquity. His city center, it appears crowned by the medieval Castle, on top of a foreland.
Of Trasmoz was the most important frontier castle of the somontano of the Moncayo, although seeing his current situation it does not seem such. Placed to the north of the Moncayo, he was keeping the ways that they were communicating Castile with Aragon. Extremadura and ground of conflicts that already in XIIth century propitiated the building of the central turret of the current one fortification. There is news of the same one in 1185, when this territory belonged to the kingdom of Navarre and it was recovered by Alfonso II for Aragon.
This is the epoch of building of his tower of the homage and of the first enclosure in his winch. Subsequently, XIIIth to XVth centuries, the wall added along them to him perimetral and the towers of his angles, turning his ancient pit into weapon courtyard.
The successive enlargement of the fortified enclosure was propitiated by Sancho VII of Navarre (1215) and for Pedro III and Pedro IV of Aragon to reinforce it before the wars with Castile.
The perimeter of his wall has form slightly pentagonal, with apex towards the North-East. In each of his angles one built defensive turret, as well as towards half of the side south-west. East wall was built in masonry united with mortar, having scarce and badly worn out ashlars in concrete areas of the same one. access to the interior carries out across tower - door, in angle, placed in the apex North-East. They were finishing off the walls in battlements, of those that his starter reduces, and we see in the same two lines superposed saeteras for his defense. Also we can appreciate artillery impacts in his linens
He stands out also in Trasmoz the Center of Interpretation of the Witchcraft, exhibition placed in the ancient stove of bread, in the street Sacred Heart of Jesus. It shows the legends of the area, the life of the "witches" of the region and the tools used by these to realize his conjurations. (fte and texts to see links)
