    Local people know this statue as 'El Pelos'.
    Actually, it is a monument to La Jacetania made by the Huesca sculptor Ángel Orensanz, a native of a town in this region: Larués.
    The sculpture represents a pilgrim and is full of symbols of the land: in its hands it holds the old monastery of San Juan de la Peña and on different plates we can see the figures of: the Holy Grail, the Book of the Chain, the Cathedral of Jackfruit, a typical musical instrument of the area (the psaltery), a skier, the industry of Sabiñánigo, the Camino de Santiago and a man dressed in the typical costume of Alto Aragón.
