Jaca Citadel

Highlight • Castle

The great pentagonal citadel is the most imposing structure in the city.

Construction of the complex began in 1592. The occasion was the European religious wars of the 16th century and the strategically important location of the city of Jaca near the border and at the foot of important passes to France. Construction was completed in 1670.
In 2007, a museum of military miniatures (Museo de Miniaturas Militares) was opened in the fortress.
If you want to visit the citadel, you should note that it closes between 1:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. After that it's open again until 8:00 p.m.

Jaca Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The Town Hall of Jaca is one of the most interesting examples of Aragonese Plateresque architecture. The building was built in two phases during the 15th and 16th centuries. The façade is undoubtedly the most outstanding element of the construction.

It was designed by Juan de Rosellet and built by Biscayan stonemasons in 1544. The restoration works carried out during the first decade of the 21st century have significantly altered its appearance and have allowed it to recover part of its original nature.
