ROUTE OF THE CASTLES IN ARAGON: SADABA

In the area of Cinco Villas, 90 km. from Zaragoza. The castle is built on a hill.
In former times the town was at its foot, but in the 15^th C. it was moved to the other bank of the river. The castle is from the late Medieval period, with Cistercian decorations (13^th C.). Its plan is quadrilateral, almost rectangular, 38x30 metres, on an area of more than 1000 m2. Its walls are of an even height and quite elevated, having seven towers with rectangular plan, four of them on the corners. A narrow walkway goes through the towers by means of passages. The doorway, next to one of the towers, gives access to an open hallway through which we enter the big courtyard. In the centre there is an aljibe (cistern), with a high capacity. We can also visit the Gothic church of Santa Maria and the hermitage of Puilampa, from the 11^th. century. There are interesting Roman remains in the surroundings.

VISITORS: Ask for the keys in the Town Hall.
