Hermitage of Biescas

Monument · Biescas, Alto Gállego, Huesca

Biescas preserves two hermitages: that of Santa Elena, from the 17th century at the entrance to the valle de Tena, in a space held sacred since the Neolithic and rebuilt in 1253 by order of Jaime I; and that of the Virgen de la Collada, of medieval origin with a 16th-17th-century fabric, in the barrio de San Pedro.
