The Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora del Pueyo is a 12th century building. Its origin is based on the legend of the appearance of the virgin to the shepherd Balandrán. Its privileged location on a hill served as an outpost for Pedro I of Aragon during the reconquest of Huesca and later Jaime I the Conqueror established a chaplaincy here.

From these actions originate the church and the Romanesque cloister, which are later enlarged in the Gothic style.
