Founded in the 13th century on the site of an old Visigothic hermitage. Rebuilt several times, the current building combines Renaissance and Baroque elements. For centuries, it was an important center of Marian pilgrimage in Aragon. The monastery was abandoned in the mid-20th century, but in the 1990s, it was restored by the Incarnate Word community, which still lives there. Today, it is a place for retreat, Masses, and spiritual activities.

Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Carrodilla. The sanctuary has various rooms (house, patios, corrals, porches...) of which the church constitutes the main building. The current temple, built between the 14th and 15th centuries, is made up of a nave to which several chapels added later open. The interior stands out for the harmony of proportions, for the excellent stonework and for its sober elegance. Today a popular pilgrimage to the temple is still celebrated.

The sanctuary of the Virgen de la Carrodilla is located in the mountain range of the same name. The temple was built between the 14th and 15th centuries and preserves various rooms. Due to its beautiful proportions and its location in the middle of nature, surrounded by almond fields, the climb to the sanctuary is a popular excursion in the area.

The Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora del Pueyo is a 12th century building. Its origin is based on the legend of the appearance of the virgin to the shepherd Balandrán. Its privileged location on a hill served as an outpost for Pedro I of Aragon during the reconquest of Huesca and later Jaime I the Conqueror established a chaplaincy here. From these actions originate the church and the Romanesque cloister, which are later enlarged in the Gothic style.

Barbastro is the vibrant capital of the Somontano region, known for its wines, olive groves and cereal fields. Its location makes it an important commercial crossroads and its many monuments attest to its importance over the centuries.
