A history full of ebbs and flowsLocated on the border that used to mark the old kingdoms of Aragon and Navarre, the architecture in Cinco Villas has retained many of its medieval features, as you will see in Ejea de los Caballeros, Sádaba, Uncastillo, Sos del Rey Católico and Tauste. You'll find stately homes, Romanesque churches, castles, towers, and even Roman ruins! A real history lesson, waiting for you only an hour or so from Zaragoza.When in Sos, you must visit the Sada Palace, the birthplace of the Catholic King Ferdinand II of Aragon. And don't miss Uncastillo, where you can explore the ruins of the Jewish quarter and the synagogue, demonstrating the understanding between the two cultures. Roman ruins such as the ones at Los Bañales, where you will find remains of the aqueduct and the hot springs, are worth a stop on your tour around the region.
