The Marcuello castle is located on top, between the Loarre castle and the Riglos mallos, and offers spectacular views over La Galliguera and its imposing mallos. The first long route that I did alone on a bicycle took me to this place and at that moment, when I put the bike on the ground and lay down to enjoy the silence, I realized that from that moment on the mountain bike was going to be a fundamental pillar in my life. And it is that, sometimes, we need to run away to find ourselves.

The castle contains elements of Romanesque architecture and has Bien de Interés Cultural status, which indicates its importance to the Spanish architectural heritage.

Remains of one of the castles that were within the area of the central pre-Pyrenees. The place can be seen from the track that connects with Sarsamacuello and the panoramic view is especially beautiful. Place that in the s. XII was governed by queen widow Berta.
There is no established reasoning about its origin, believing that since the time of Sancho I the work could have begun around 1074. It is known that it was uninhabited around 1610, like Loarre.
The place with a privileged position, on a plane the location was with the river Gállego at its feet, and the Mallos behind, allowing a defense from all fronts.
To this day, there are remains of what was the fortification tower, as well as two religious spaces from the Romanesque period.
