Of trapezoidal plan, it preserves a Gothic gallery overlooking the valley of the river Set, a cobbled courtyard with an old well, and the remains of a chapel with pointed arcades, largely destroyed in 1936. The town council acquired the building in 1989 through a donation from its last owner. Photo: Deosringas (CC BY-SA 3.0 es) What to see and do in Aspa
