Ayuntamiento de Huesca: Ayuntamiento de Huesca is a historic building located in Plaza de la Catedral. Its origins date back to 1451. It is one of the finest examples of Aragonese Renaissance civil architecture and has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest. Notable features include its Renaissance courtyard, Mudéjar wooden ceilings, monumental staircase and several Baroque spaces. The building reflects the artistic and political evolution of the city from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Museo Diocesano: Museo Diocesano de Huesca houses one of the most important collections of sacred art in Aragón. Located next to Catedral de Huesca, it occupies historic spaces such as the Gothic cloister, the chapter house and the Renaissance parish chapel, creating an artistic journey from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period. Founded in 1945 to preserve the so-called “Tesoro de la Catedral”, the museum brings together works from churches, monasteries and parishes throughout the Diocese of Huesca.

Catedral de Santa María: Catedral de Huesca was built between the 13th and 16th centuries on the site of the former main Muslim mosque of Wasqa. It is one of the main examples of Aragonese Gothic architecture and the most important religious monument in the city. Particularly noteworthy is its magnificent alabaster main altarpiece, created by Damián Forment in the 16th century and considered one of the masterpieces of the Spanish Renaissance. Its bell tower and silhouette dominate the historic centre of Huesca, making it one of the city’s cultural and heritage symbols.

Museo Provincial: Museo de Huesca is located in the former Palace of the Kings of Aragón and in part of the historic Sertorian University. Its origins date back to the 19th century, although the current building combines medieval, Renaissance and Baroque elements. The museum houses important collections of archaeology and fine arts that trace the history of the province from Prehistory to the Contemporary Age. One of its most emblematic spaces is the room known as the “Campana de Huesca”, linked to the famous medieval legend of King Ramiro II.

Museo Pedagógico: Museo Pedagógico de Aragón, located in Plaza Luis López Allué in Huesca, is a space dedicated to preserving and sharing the memory of education in Aragón. Its exhibition allows visitors to discover how schools, teaching methods, the role of the teacher and the understanding of childhood have changed over time. Throughout its rooms, visitors can see school furniture, books, notebooks, maps, toys, teaching materials and other objects that were part of everyday classroom life. The museum recreates different educational settings, from the traditional school of the early 20th century to pedagogical models linked to new forms of learning.

Iglesia de San Pedro el Viejo: 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.
