Monzón

Monzón stands beside the Cinca beneath a castle held by the Templars from 1143. The future James I of Aragon was educated in their care. The knights surrendered the fortress in 1309 during the suppression of their order; their former lands later passed to the Hospitallers.

The church of Santa María del Romeral hosted the Cortes of the kingdom and the general Cortes of the Crown of Aragon from the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries. Representatives gathered there to discuss war, peace, finance and law.
