El Frago
Village
El Frago, O Frago in Aragonese, is a municipality in the Cinco Villas region, on the foothills of the Zaragoza Pre-Pyrenees, with 129 inhabitants, crossed from north to south by the Arba river. It preserves the church of San Nicolás de Bari and the hermitage of San Miguel, both from the 12th century, along with the ruins of the hermitage of San Miguel de las Cheblas and the hermitage of Santa Ana. It also houses the Rabí Yom Tob Hall, devoted to the medieval Hebrew epigraphy of Aragón, and preserves on Trévedes street a Hebrew inscription from that rabbi's tomb. In 2024 the town council named the writer Carmen Romeo Pemán, born in the village in 1948, its Favourite Daughter, and gave her name to the rural school, reopened in the 2022-2023 school year after 32 years closed.
Church of El Frago
Monument
The church of San Nicolás de Bari in El Frago (Zaragoza) is a 12th-century Romanesque temple, with a single nave and semicircular apse, to which in the 16th century were added a square-plan tower topped with a spire, a Romanist altarpiece that hides the apse, and a high choir. It preserves two Romanesque portals, one on the southern side and the other on the western gable, with carved tympanums and round arches attributed to the Maestro de Agüero; the southern one depicts the Epiphany and a calendar on the archivolts. The whole fabric is of ashlar, with sober decoration except on the portals and tower. It belongs to the diocese of Jaca and was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) on 6 November 2001.
