Description
The Castle of Loarre was built in the 11th century (and then expanded in the 13th); it marked the border between Christian and Muslim dominions at the time. It is located on a rocky outcrop in Huesca Province and consists of several buildings bounded by curtain walls and defensive towers.
Access & Transport
The castle is 2km north of the village of Loarre, 35km northwest of the city of Huesca along the A-132 / A-1206. There is free onsite parking.

Environmental & Social
Green activity. Helps preserve the region's architectural and historical heritages + brings economic activity to the nearby village
Conclusion
One sight to add to your itinerary if visiting the city of Huesca (or passing through), but given there is so little to see inside we would strongly advise visitors to upgrade to a guided tour, which would bring the defensive complex 'alive'.
Key positive
Impressive fortifications

Visitors with reduced mobility will require assistance to move about inside
