Conjunto 7P

Iglesia de San Pedro el Viejo is one of the most important Romanesque temples in Aragón. It was built in the 12th century by the Benedictine order on the site of an ancient Mozarabic monastery, after the Christian conquest of Huesca in 1096. Its Romanesque architecture stands out for the sobriety of its forms, its cloister with historiated capitals and its Lombard-inspired bell tower. Inside are the tombs of two kings of Aragón: Alfonso I el Batallador and Ramiro II el Monje. The monastic complex also preserves a remarkably well-conserved cloister, considered one of the jewels of Aragonese Romanesque art.
