Image of Fonz, not of the place itself.

The historic-artistic ensemble of Fonz, declared a Monumento Histórico Artístico (Spain's highest level of heritage protection before the creation of the Bien de Interés Cultural) in 1976, forms an ensemble of great interest within Upper Aragonese civil architecture, centred on its Plaza Mayor and Renaissance core. There stands the six-spout fountain, built in 1567, of classicist design and one of the most monumental in Aragon. The Renaissance town hall dates from the early 16th century, was the summer residence of the bishops of Lérida and today houses, on its top floor, a Renaissance interpretation centre. The ensemble preserves eleven noble houses, a reflection of old hidalgo families, among them the 16th-century palace of the Gómez Alba family and the Casa Ric, from 1613, as well as the Renaissance parish church, built between 1606 and 1617.
