The village is located at the confluence of the Ara and Cinca rivers, under the watchful eye of Peña Montañesa. In its old town time seems to have stopped in the Middle Ages, not in vain is listed as a Historic-Artistic Site.
Built in the eleventh century, Loarre Castle was first a royal palace, later a monastery and now a film set. The imposing wall that surrounds it and its eleven towers will welcome you.
