Founded in the 13th century on the site of an old Visigothic hermitage. Rebuilt several times, the current building combines Renaissance and Baroque elements. For centuries, it was an important center of Marian pilgrimage in Aragon. The monastery was abandoned in the mid-20th century, but in the 1990s, it was restored by the Incarnate Word community, which still lives there. Today, it is a place for retreat, Masses, and spiritual activities.

The Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora del Pueyo is a 12th century building. Its origin is based on the legend of the appearance of the virgin to the shepherd Balandrán. Its privileged location on a hill served as an outpost for Pedro I of Aragon during the reconquest of Huesca and later Jaime I the Conqueror established a chaplaincy here. From these actions originate the church and the Romanesque cloister, which are later enlarged in the Gothic style.

Barbastro is a city in the Aragonese province of Huesca located on the banks of the Vero River. Its most notable construction is the impressive cathedral of Santa María de la Asunción, in the Gothic style. The cathedral's bell tower, possibly built on the base of an ancient minaret, can be seen from anywhere in the city. But do not miss the opportunity to visit it inside, where a beautiful baroque doorway, a star ribbed vault and a grandiose alabaster altarpiece await you.
