Watched over by the remains of its ancient castle, Daroca emerges, one of the most beautiful cities in Aragon. Without a doubt, one of the charms of the town is to walk along its walls, with their imposing towers, until you reach the castle, from which you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view.

The Lower Gate is the most emblematic entrance to Daroca and one of the most impressive defensive monuments in Aragon. Its two robust towers flank a large arch that, in addition to serving as a passageway, also facilitated the drainage of water during periods of heavy rain. Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it reflects the military and architectural evolution of the city, with Gothic and Renaissance elements such as the gallery of arches and the imperial coat of arms of Charles V. Today, restored, it houses the Center for Daroca Studies and is a must-see for those exploring the city's walls and historic streets.

As we pass through Monterde, we cannot miss the town's Castle located on top of the rocky hill where the remains of the square-plan tower that was part of a medieval fortress located in the Aragonese town are preserved. At present it is protected as an archaeological zone.
