A sturdy 11th-century fortress used to recapture the Muslim city of Huesca in 1096. Sancho Ramírez ordered the construction of the castle-abbey to secure the siege of the city. In 1093 he began building the church and founded a monastery, transferring the community of clerics from Loarre. The Abbey of Montearagón exercised great power throughout the Middle Ages and modern times and had a very wide sphere of influence.

The walled complex is hexagonal and irregular, and the church is attached to it, forming part of the wall. The splendor of this castle-abbey can still be seen in Huesca today, notably the high altarpiece in the Diocesan Museum and the tomb of King Alfonso I the Fighter in the cloister of San Pedro el Viejo.
