Pina de Ebro

Pina de Ebro stands on the Ebro downstream from Zaragoza. Its lands belonged to the monastery of Veruela in the fifteenth century, and the town later formed the centre of a lordship that included several neighbouring villages. In 1530 Blasco de Alagón, Count of Sástago, founded a Franciscan convent here; its buildings incorporated an earlier Mudéjar church and were completed in 1539.
