History
Las primeras noticias relativas a la localidad de Alcalá de Ebro hacen referencia al castillo de origen musulmán que a orillas del Ebro formaba parte del sistema defensivo de la ciudad de Zaragoza. Tras la conquista de la ciudad de Zaragoza y sus alrededores en 1118, el castillo pasó a formar parte de los honores reales, lugares en los que se formarían los primeros señoríos de la Ribera Alta del Ebro, al ser confiados a los nobles que acompañaban al monarca.
La propiedad sobre Alcalá correspondió a la casa de Luna y posteriormente a Pedro de Quesada, empezando a vincularse por sucesivas relaciones matrimoniales con la casa de los duques de Villahermosa, instalada en la Villa de Pedrola, hasta la abolición de los señoríos en 1833.
