On some occasion I have written about how much I like castles, undoubtedly one of the great attractions of any landscape and that almost always forms part of a spectacular natural environment. In our country there are many different styles, and today I would like to write about those in Aragon, an ancient land in which there are not only castles but you will also find countless places of interest, so you can enjoy an incredible trip.
Throughout the Aragonese territory you can find many castles, distributed in its 3 provinces and that they are fortresses full of history that are wonderfully preserved in some cases and almost in ruins in others, but any of them gives off a special magic. It is very difficult to choose the best or the most beautiful, but I will try to make a short summary that is fair with its beauty.
Citadel Castle
Also called Castillo de San Pedro, it is in Huesca and it is a fantastic pentagon that is protected by walls, moats, bastions and various fortifications. It was built in the 16th century and it also has a couple of bridges, one of which is raised, and inside there is a parade ground, several rooms and a church.
Sos Castle of the Catholic King
It's in Saragossa and it was a strategic point between the kingdoms of Navarra and Aragon that is surrounded by a medieval wall. Inside, cobbled streets that guide you to the different parts, where there are two headlands, several rooms, balconies or the Palacio de Sada.
Aínsa Castle
It's in Aínsa, in the province of Huesca, a medieval town that stands out for many places of interest but especially for its castle, which is from the 11th century and was remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is huge and has a rectangular patio that is surrounded by a wall with arches. The Tower of Homage is the part that is best preserved, currently being the Pyrenean Fauna Interpretation Center.
Loarre Castle
It is also in Huesca and is one of the most beautiful in the entire Community, also being the romantic fortress most important in the whole country and one of the most in Europe. It has 8 turrets and has been the scene of the filming of several films such as "The Kingdom of Heaven". Among its most important parts is the wall, the Royal Chapel dedicated to San Pedro or the Torre del Homenaje.
Sádaba Castle
It is in the province of Zaragoza, on a small hill that reveals its walls and towers and gives great beauty to the landscape. It is medieval style and it has a patio and 7 towers.
Albarracín Castle
It is in Albarracín, in the province of Teruel, and has one of the most spectacular walls in the castles of our country. Its walls protect the town center, and from them you can enjoy fantastic views. In this area there were 3 castles together but today two are ruined and only this one is complete.
