Pleasant walk

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

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.

Apiés is a small agricultural center just 10 kilometers from the city of Huesca. It is located between cereal fields and the Romanesque church of San Félix, from the 12th century, stands out. The town is very close to the Roldán waterfall and from its surroundings you can get a good view of these huge mallos.

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.

This Gothic temple was built on top of the main Muslim mosque. The cover has a large typical Aragonese carved wooden eaves incorporated in the 16th century. There is a geodesic vertex on top of the tower marking an altitude of 525 m above sea level.

Huesca is one of the oldest important cities on the Peninsula, being a main nucleus in pre-Roman Iberian times. Later in time, when it came under Arab rule, the caliphate of Córdoba around 874 gave the powerful governor of "Waska" Amrus-ibn-Umar the order to wall the city to protect it from the threatening incursions of the troops of Charlemagne. When the city was taken by Pedro I, the Islamic population was expelled to the Moors south of the walls, outside the walls.
