King Ramiro I has his own monument in the square of the same name. The work was done by Ramón Casadevall. The plaque reads: "RAMIRO I OF ARAGON He was the first king of Aragon, from 1035 until his death in 1063, and established his cupital in Jace. His son Sancho Ramirez granted the charter of Jaca (1077) granting it the rank of city. This sculpture was made by Ramón Casadevall, dressed in chain mail and attire typical of a warrior of the time. On his head is the crown distinctive of his status." Ramiro I was the first king of Aragon (1035-8 May 1063/1069) and count of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza (1045-8 May 1063/1069) Natural son of Sancho the Elder, king of Pamplona and a young woman named Sancha de Aibar or Aybar, from the nobility of the lands of Aibar. His illegitimate origin is known thanks to a story, in which Ramiro is the only one of Sancho's sons who helps his wife (including her children). She, pleased, adopts him as her son. After the death of Sancho the Elder, his first-born legitimate son García de Nájera inherited the throne, ruling over all of his father's territory. His brother Ramiro considered him a minor and proclaimed himself baiulus in the lands he had received from his father to live off the income in Aragon with a throne in Jaca. They soon faced each other in the battle of Tafalla and Ramiro started a new dynasty in the recent kingdom of Aragon. Gonzalo, who ruled the royal revenues in Sobrarbe and Ribagorza, transferred the rights to his brother Ramiro I. He died before the gates of Graus trying to conquer it.

The Cathedral of San Pedro de Jaca or Seo de San Pedro de Jaca (in Aragonese Seu de Chaca or Xaca), head of the diocese of Jaca, is one of the most characteristic and oldest Romanesque constructions in Spain. Its construction began almost at the same time as that of Santiago de Compostela in the last quarter of the 11th century at the initiative of King Sancho Ramírez, who, on the occasion of his trip to Rome in 1068, had placed his kingdom under the vassalage of the Pope, at that time Alexander II. For this reason the pontiff granted him the episcopal seat of Jaca, as the religious and political head of his incipient kingdom.

The Jaca Clock Tower, also popularly known as the Prison Tower, is an interesting Gothic civil building built in 1445. It was both a clock and a prison since the Council of Jaca bought it in 1599 to place the clock-bell tower that would mark urban life and converted it, in 1602, into the city prison. It is a rectangular tower, built with irregular stones and very slender. The entrance door is located on the north face and consists of a semicircular arch.
