Tips from the Community
The fragment isn't exactly eye-catching. Nor is there any indication that it's a genuine Roman artifact. It's shady and perhaps worth a break.

Really beautiful castle in the middle of a semi arid landscape with perfect gravel roads. Surprisingly empty!

This town in the region of Hoya de Huesca in the community of Aragón appears mentioned for the first time in 1104, in a concord between the bishop of Huesca and the abbot of Montearagón. Its origin is Roman, a link that still survives in the tradition of the "vote", which unites Alerre with six other towns that surround Huesca and form the "Seven Places". This historical community was united by the promise of a vote destined to ask for the holy protection of a saint, Lorenzo, son of two Roman subjects who lived in a Roman settlement near present-day Huesca, and who was martyred in Rome. Alerre has an interesting costume and footwear museum, located in the keep, next to the town hall, and which collects more than 3,000 pieces from all over the world, donated by the Scottish diplomat of Spanish origin Tomás Moyano.

Founded and built by Sancho Ramírez of Aragón in Romanesque style in the 11th and 12th centuries, Montearagón Castle was a fortified complex that included military housing, a church and a royal monastery. It is located on a strategic promontory in the Huesca town of Quicena, in the Hoya de Huesca region, Aragon. Although its military function ended with the taking of Huesca and the end of the Spanish-Arab wars, it continued to house the canonical abbey under the name of the Abbey of Jesús de Nazaret de Montearagón. Several Aragonese kings were buried in the castle in addition to its founder, Sancho Ramírez of Aragón.
