Litago is a municipality at the foot of the Moncayo, in the comarca of Tarazona y el Moncayo, province of Zaragoza, situated at 781 metres above sea level and partly within the Moncayo natural park. Middle Palaeolithic sites some 40,000 years old have been found in the Jasa ravine. Its two-towered castle is documented in the 12th century, donated in 1191 by Alfonso II and later to the monastery of Veruela; nearby, the Romanesque church of the Assumption of Our Lady was built in the 13th century, whose bell tower may have been the keep. In its damp ravines grows the chordón, the wild raspberry used to make jams and a homemade liqueur of the same name. In the mid-19th century it had 450 inhabitants; today it has 173 (INE 2025).
