The Guardian of Huesca: Castle of Montearagon • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the Castle of Montearagon. As you look up at these rugged, brown walls perched high atop this solitary hill, you are witnessing one of the most strategic sites in the history of the Kingdom of Aragon. You are currently standing just a few kilometers east of the city of Huesca, in the quiet municipality of Quicena, at a place that has watched over the plains for nearly one thousand years. This fortress was not built just for show; it was born out of a royal necessity in the late eleventh century when King Sancho Ramirez decided to reclaim the nearby city of Huesca from Muslim rule. Imagine the hills teeming with soldiers and the air thick with the anticipation of a kingdom being forged. From this vantage point, you can already feel the commanding presence this castle once held over the entire Hoya de Huesca region.
