What to see and do in Trasobares

Trasobares
Village
Trasobares is a municipality in the Aranda comarca, in Zaragoza, situated in the valley of the río Isuela, with 124 inhabitants. Its medieval origin is linked to the Cistercian convent founded around 1168, whose construction goes back to a legend: in 1092, during a secret journey to Castile, King Sancho Ramírez of Aragón is said to have witnessed here an apparition of the Virgin before three Christian woodcutters who had given him shelter, from which the name Trium Obantium, three victors, derives. Alfonso I of Aragón, the Battler, reconquered the area after 1118 and returned the venerated image to the place. The church, the wall and the monastery's entrance arch still structure the hamlet today.
Cistercian Monastery of Trasobares
Monument
The Royal Monastery of Santa María de la Piedad de Trasobares, in the Aranda region (Zaragoza), was a female Cistercian convent founded in 1168 as a daughter house of Tulebras, under the supervision of Veruela; King Alfonso II granted it royal privileges in 1188. During the crisis of the Compromise of Caspe (1412), the convent supported the rebellion of the Count of Urgel and suffered destruction in the civil war that followed. The disentailment led to its closure in 1835, when the community fell below the twelve nuns required: the abbess moved to Santa Lucía and the rest were distributed among Zaidía, Calatravas, Tulebras and Casbas. Today the church of the Assumption and a 16th-century cloister façade survive, which, together with the wall and the entrance arch, structure the village.
