Access point to the Castle and Church (in the image) by stairs.

Numerous battles were fought in the castle of Benabarre and it was demolished at the beginning of the 17th century and reused in the 19th century with new executions, remaining active in the Catalan and Carlist wars. Due to these war conflicts, it was rebuilt to transform it into a rifle fort.

Today it looks more like a 19th century fort, although it retains older walls from when it was the castle-palace of the counts of Ribagorza. Thus, it is a monumental complex of a single enclosure where all the transformations of the property parallel to the historical ups and downs are integrated.

It is located at the top of the town and is visible from several points in the area. It is made up of the Romanesque church and the fortress, dating from the 12th century. It consists of two enclosures, an upper one, older and with a Muslim layout, of which there are walls at the base of the rock on which it sits, as well as the base of a quadrangular tower.
