"A very unknown historical place with a great history to discover. A great restoration and recovery job. Very interesting set of mural paintings by Fray Manuel Bayeu (Goya's brother-in-law). late baroque. Guided tours on holidays from 11:00 to 12:30."

"Wonderful discovery, the guide Alberto (VOLUNTEER) has been phenomenal and we also coincided with a group of restorers who rescued the paintings of Fray Manuel Bayeu.
Everyone who went loved it.
Thank you very much Alberto and company!!
To add a drawback, the DP of Huesca should invest those days of visits in having someone help or in Security or in receiving visitors....
We have to maintain everyone's heritage and so many people who come to visit this jewel should not be left to one person alone."
