, Aragón
was a fortress-monastery built in the Romanesque style.
Situated
near Huesca, it now lies
in ruins. In 1094 Sancho Ramirez reinforced the castle to help
with the siege of the Muslim stronghold of Wasqah
(Huesca); here he met his death by a stray arrow as he was reconnoitering the city's walls. The
city was conquered in 1096 by Peter I of Aragon, after defeating the
relief forces in the Battle of
Alcoraz.| Embed code: |
