Writer Jordi Molist presented his latest work in Miravet, a novel titled Donaré el cel per tu, which explores the Templar order's downfall following the 1291 fall of Acre.

The story begins during the bloody battle for the last stronghold of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Molist, visiting the Miravet Castle, emphasized the tragic nature of this historical period that marked the end of the Crusades and the beginning of the end for the order.

"After Saint Jean d'Acre, they were very rich zombies, but they were heading to the grave."
