The nucleus of Sos is known as the oldest inhabited point in the Sositania Valley. Land for cultivating vines and cereals, it was an important medieval redoubt, which proves that in the 11th century Benasque and Cerler were under its government.
The church of San Andrés illustrates this rich history. Romanesque, its construction dates back to the 12th century, although it was built on a previous temple. Around the town there are several hermitages, among which the Virgen del Puy and Santa Lucía stand out.
The name Sos comes from the Latin Susum-Sursum which means 'upwards'.
