The great pentagonal citadel is the most imposing structure in the city.

Construction of the complex began in 1592. The occasion was the European religious wars of the 16th century and the strategically important location of the city of Jaca near the border and at the foot of important passes to France. Construction was completed in 1670.

In 2007, a museum of military miniatures (Museo de Miniaturas Militares) was opened in the fortress.

If you want to visit the citadel, you should note that it closes between 1:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. After that it's open again until 8:00 p.m.

Very nice to visit, taking a walk through the surrounding parks. The deer that live in the moat, very beautiful.
