20의 미에데스 데 아라곤가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The Lower Gate is the most emblematic entrance to Daroca and one of the most impressive defensive monuments in Aragon. Its two robust towers flank a large arch that, in addition to serving as a passageway, also facilitated the drainage of water during periods of heavy rain. Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it reflects the military and architectural evolution of the city, with Gothic and Renaissance elements such as the gallery of arches and the imperial coat of arms of Charles V. Today, restored, it houses the Center for Daroca Studies and is a must-see for those exploring the city's walls and historic streets.

This Castle corresponds to the Major Castle of Daroca, of Muslim origin and built in the 11th Century.

It is the highest point for many kilometers in the surrounding area (next to Pico de la Nevera, which cannot be accessed because it is a military installation). In summer there are fire surveillance personnel because it is a place with impressive views.

The rich history of Daroca, from a Celtiberian town to a Roman city, and later from an Arab enclave to an important town in the kingdom of Aragon, is manifested in the variety of monuments and historical vestiges that it preserves in its urban center. Churches, fountains, mines, and, especially, the wall and the Mayor castle, transport you to the fascinating past of this Aragonese town.

Surprising Daroca and its buildings and history, worth a visit

The Lower Gate of Daroca

The fact of being a border city between regions and kingdoms has marked the history of one of the most suffered but at the same time beautiful cities in Aragon. At this point we find ourselves at the Lower Gate that welcomes us to the city through which we can tour its walls, built at different times, up to the old castle from which we can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of Daroca.

We are at the Pico del Rayo, the highest peak of the Sierra de Victor at 1427 masl with magnificent views of the Iberian System and Moncayo.
