Jaca

About

Nestled between Pyrenees mountains, man has been enjoying Jaca's stunning natural views since pre-Roman times. This long history is remember by the city's numerous remarkable structures, such as the 11th century Romanesque cathedral, the local Benedictine monastery, and of course, the Church of Santiago. While the city's known for its religious monuments, these are overshadowed by its huge citadel with a pentagonal design, a textbook example of 16th-century military architecture. With its beautiful surroundings, and equally beautiful architecture, it's no wonder the city is nicknamed "the pearl of the Pyrenees".
