Built in the late 11th century on the orders of King Sancho Ramírez I of Aragon, on the ruins of an ancient Roman fortress. It is said to be the most important Romanesque castle in Spain. It has an irregular layout and double walls with cylindrical towers.
Inside stands the 12th-century Romanesque church of Santa María. The church has three naves and a barrel vault. Of particular note are the capitals decorated with Romanesque iconography. It was first a royal residence and later an Augustinian convent.
