Founded and built by Sancho Ramírez of Aragón in Romanesque style in the 11th and 12th centuries, Montearagón Castle was a fortified complex that included military housing, a church and a royal monastery.

It is located on a strategic promontory in the Huesca town of Quicena, in the Hoya de Huesca region, Aragon. Although its military function ended with the taking of Huesca and the end of the Spanish-Arab wars, it continued to house the canonical abbey under the name of the Abbey of Jesús de Nazaret de Montearagón.

Several Aragonese kings were buried in the castle in addition to its founder, Sancho Ramírez of Aragón.

Montearagón Castle is an abandoned castle-abbey located in the municipality of Quicena, in the province of Huesca. It was strategically built in 1085 by Sanç I of Aragon and Pamplona to help in the conquest of Washka (Husca) in the Taifa of Zaragoza.

Really beautiful castle in the middle of a semi arid landscape with perfect gravel roads. Surprisingly empty!
