The remains found in the municipality of Gallocanta speaks to us about a rich history that begins in the ancient one epoch of the Bronze, to come until our days happening for Celtiberian, Romans, Muslims... without forgetting of the importance that it had during the Middle Age on having talked each other of frontier ground.
it preserves good samples of large houses, like house Gamundi, or religious constructions as interesting as the baroque church of San Pedro (XVIIIth century), which tower was not concluded. In temple we will be able to observe magnificent examples of art furniture, proceeding from an ancient church of the quarter of San Andrés, like one beautiful tabernacle of the XVIIth century and diverse reredoses.
Her chapel of the Virgin of the Good Agreement is placed more to the south of between the Romanesque ones of the province of Saragossa. The temple is in origin an included late Romanesque building in the first one half of the XIIIth century.
The Romanesque size of the Virgin of the Good Agreement is guarded in Gallocanta in a chapel of the parochial temple dedicated to San Pedro. It is a nice size of polychrome wood. The Virgin appears seated in a bench and the Child is seated on his knee left, carrying a sphere gilded with his two hands.
If what we want is to practise risk sports, the Sickles of river Stone offer us the possibility of living through the strong emotions that they characterize to the climb and the speleology.
