Ejea de los Caballeros

Ejea de los Caballeros is a town of the Cinco Villas, in the country between the Pyrenees and the Ebro. Alfonso I of Aragon took it from Muslim rule in the early twelfth century, and its medieval streets grew within defensive walls. The church of El Salvador combines a fortified tower with finely carved Romanesque portals, a reminder of both the dangers and the artistry of its age.
