After the conquest by the Moors Tortosa was recovered in 1148 from a part of the army of the Second Crusade of Barcelona. In the years 1413/14 the Disputation of Tortosa was held here, one of the forced religious discussions between Christians and Jews in the Middle Ages. During the Spanish Civil War, the area surrounding the city was in 1938 for four months the scene of the Battle of the Ebro. Origin: wikipedia
