HISTORY
A long time before becoming a kingdom in the XI century,the prehistoric men have already left their painting and buildings. We find dolmens in valleys around our Lodges, megalitics tombs where you will have the chance to follow the trace of the Cave Bear.The dinosaurious trace,in Aren. The Celtiberians dropped by here and the Romans lived in Villa Fortunus.Highlanders, who fled from the Arab conquest, sheltered in the Pyrenean valleys.
With the Romanesque, very close SALVELINUS Lodge, some buildings like the Jaca`s Cathedral or San Juan de la Peña Monastery, both pantheons of the Aragon Royal Couple. In adition in the Serrablo , churches of Mozarabic influences. The wonderfull Loarre castle, the Alquezar collegiate church, Siresa, Sasabe, Santa Cruz de la Seros…Eachone no more than 45 minutes from our Lodges.
