This town was thoroughly destroyed during the Battle of the Ebro in the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 39).
The lower part of the town has been rebuilt but the higher part, including the old church on the hill, has been kept as a reminder, with marked paths in a circuit known as Centre d'interpretació de la batalla de l'Ebre.[1] There is also a museum with Civil War artifacts and memorabilia in Corbera.[2]
