Pyrenees of Huesca, Spain
Castle of Abizanda
The Watchtower of Abizanda (Pyrenees of Huesca, Spain) is the highest surveillance point of the Cinca valley, in the Sobrarbe county. Construction began in the first half of the 11th century by order of Sancho Garcés III, king of Navarra, as one of the many defensive outposts scattered along the Cinca river to monitor Moorish activity in the valley. The Gothic-Aragonese church was built in the 16th century. 2003-08-19.
