Peñalba
Village
Peñalba is a municipality in the comarca of Los Monegros, in Huesca province, at the southern end of the comarca, beside the AP-2 motorway and the N-2 road, 99 kilometres from the city of Huesca. Its municipal area, of 156.7 km², has a landscape of abundant slopes and hills, with altitudes ranging from the 448 metres of the Las Huegas peak, on the boundary with Ontiñena and Candasnos, down to the 200 metres of the Barranco de Valcuerna, which crosses the territory towards the southeast and dams its waters in the Valdecabrera reservoir before they flow into that of Mequinenza. The village stands at 254 metres above sea level and preserves the church of the Holy Cross. Its population, which exceeded 750 inhabitants a few years ago, has fallen to the current 657 (2025 INE).
Church of Peñalba
Monument
The sources give different names for the parish church of Peñalba: the town's Wikipedia page labels a photograph as 'Iglesia de la Santa Cruz', while the municipal profile from the Diputación de Huesca describes the 17th-century parish church under the dedication of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, with a tower with a square base and an octagonal upper section; the municipality also preserves a hermitage of Santa Quiteria of Romanesque origin.
