Over Sierra de la Peña is located the town of Sos del Rey Católico, the county seat of Altas Cinco Villas, declared Historic Artistic Site and property of cultural interest.
The town was set up over a hill with two natural promontories in which we find the castle and the palace and its characteristics of frontier watchtower between the kingdoms of Navarra and Aragón.
The stone houses, gothic and renaissance windows and the narrow cobbled paving streets form a harmonious monument, combined with the beautiful landscape surrounding the town.
San Esteban Church is located on the upper part of the town next to the castle’s ruins. The church from 11th century contains another church below, the so called Santa María del Perdón, or simply “the crypt”.
