Iglesia de San Pedro el Viejo: Iglesia de San Pedro el Viejo is one of the most important Romanesque churches 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.
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.
