Village · Farlete, Los Monegros, Huesca

Farlete is a municipality of Zaragoza province, in Aragon, part of the comarca of Los Monegros, in its southern half, the most arid area of this natural comarca; it covers 104.12 km² and has 372 inhabitants, against 473 in the mid-19th century. It preserves the sanctuary of la Virgen de Sabina, from the 17th century, the church of San Juan Bautista, in baroque style, and the medieval tower of la Torraza, from the 14th century, at the foot of the sierra de Alcubierre, on whose San Caprasio summit, together with Monte Oscuro, several caves open up. In July 1936 it was taken, after fierce fighting, by the anarchist column Los Aguiluchos of the FAI in its advance from Barcelona towards Zaragoza, an episode recorded in the documentary La Batalla de Farlete.
