Miravet (Catalan pronunciation: [miraˈβet]) is a municipality in the comarca of Ribera d'Ebre in the Province of Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain.

The village and the castle was founded by the Moors and rebuilt by the Knights Templar and transformed into a fortress-monastery, after the conquest of 1153. It is considered to be the largest fortified complex in Catalonia^{[citation needed]}, and one of the best examples of Romanesque, religious and military, architecture of the Templar order in the whole Western world.^{[citation needed]}
