Historical milestone · Fraga, Bajo Cinca, Huesca

Image of Fraga, not of the place itself.

On 24 October 1149 Ramón Berenguer IV took Fraga, the last Muslim stronghold of the lower Cinca, after the fall of Lérida and Mequinenza. The medina, famous for its market gardens and its defences, remained a frontier stronghold disputed between Aragon and Catalonia.
