Belmonte de Gracián (Aragonese: Belmón de Grazián) is a village near Calatayud in the province of Zaragoza in Aragon, Spain. It is a fortified village which sits at the foot of a 15th-century castle.
It is the birthplace of Baltasar Gracián y Morales, and in 1985 was renamed to Belmonte de Gracián in his honour. Previously the town was known as Belmonte de Calatayud and Belmonte del Río Perejiles. [2] [3]
The archaeological remains of the Celtiberian and Romano-Celtiberian town of Segeda-Sekeiza are located between Belmonte de Gracián and the nearby town of Mara.
