In the centre of Lupiñén, very close to the church, there is the fountain with eight spouts. It is clear why it is called that. It is well-kept and the surroundings are well-maintained, making it a pleasant place to stop and cool off.

This town in the region of Hoya de Huesca in the community of Aragón appears mentioned for the first time in 1104, in a concord between the bishop of Huesca and the abbot of Montearagón. Its origin is Roman, a link that still survives in the tradition of the "vote", which unites Alerre with six other towns that surround Huesca and form the "Seven Places". This historical community was united by the promise of a vote destined to ask for the holy protection of a saint, Lorenzo, son of two Roman subjects who lived in a Roman settlement near present-day Huesca, and who was martyred in Rome. Alerre has an interesting costume and footwear museum, located in the keep, next to the town hall, and which collects more than 3,000 pieces from all over the world, donated by the Scottish diplomat of Spanish origin Tomás Moyano.

The ruins of the Watchtower tower, probably built between the 9th and 10th centuries, are of Islamic origin. The tower, with a square plan, preserves only three walls, since the south wall collapsed. It is also known as the Four Corners Tower. It is located in a privileged place, on a hill that overlooks the Sotonera reservoir. Its elevated position allowed visual communication with the Tower of San Mitiel or the Bolea castle.
