This beautiful medieval bridge was built between the 13th and 14th centuries. It is about one hundred meters long and almost three meters wide, which allowed carriages and vehicles to cross from one side to the other.

You may not see this bridge if you pass quickly and are not paying attention. In addition to its beauty, it is also interesting for its location, since it is located next to the mouth of the Isábena river with the Ésera river.

The historic center of Graus is a jewel of traditional architecture. Not in vain has it been declared a set of artistic-historical interest for its main square, arcades, cobbled streets and stately homes.

Lascuarre takes its name from the Basque language of the Basques who inhabited it until the 9th century. Later, it was a border square of the Muslim kingdoms. Today it is a small town of stone houses dominated by the imposing Gothic church of Santa María la Mayor, from the 15th century, which is located where the walled town square probably once stood.

The city of Graus has been declared an artistic-historical complex and its main square is a good example of why. The stone arches, the painted facades of the manor houses and the buildings from different eras create a charming traditional atmosphere to stop and have a drink (don't miss the opportunity to taste the famous Graus sausage).
