What to see and do in Valtierra

Valtierra
Village
A town with earliest settlements documented from the Lower Paleolithic and an Iron Age necropolis at La Torraza. Alfonso I el Batallador conquered it in 1110, granting it the Fuero de Sobrarbe, and in the 14th century, under Carlos II, it received the status of 'Buena Villa'.
Las cuevas de Valtierra
Monument
A district of dwellings excavated into the rock that reached its greatest use in the 19th century, when poverty and precarious farm work led many day-laborer families to dig their own homes into the hillside. They were gradually abandoned from the early 1960s as public housing was built; in the mid-1990s the town council restored them as rural lodging, with seven caves and a cave-bar open to the public since 2002.
La Torraza de Valtierra
Monument
The remains of a medieval defensive watchtower built over a Roman funerary monument, a key archaeological site within the boundaries of Valtierra.
Iglesia de Santa María de Valtierra
Monument
A 16th-century parish church housing a grand Renaissance high altarpiece of gilded and polychromed carving.
Palacio de los Gómara de Valtierra
Monument
An 18th-century Baroque brick civil building, one of the notable buildings in Valtierra's town center.
