Broto is a small village of 500 inhabitants in the province of Huesca that is home to an impressive collection of monuments and natural sites.
Broto, located on the banks of the Ara River, is a popular destination for rural tourism. It stands at the entrance to the lush Broto Valley and is part of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. In these beautiful places you can take part in mountain sports and outdoor activities such as rafting or climbing the via ferrata Sorrosal waterfall. Come and spend your holiday in Broto to find out all about it.
Walking along the main road of the town, the Avenida de Ordesa, you can let the typical atmosphere of mountain villages soak in and marvel at its traditional buildings. This is also the perfect place to go shopping or have a drink, as most of the shops and restaurants are here. If you continue down this street to the river, you will see Broto's ancient medieval bridge.
Cheap trips to Broto are a good way to get to know Aragonese Gothic architecture. The 16th century Church of San Pedro, which also features Renaissance touches, is a fine example of this style. Its Bell tower is perhaps its most impressive part, a defensive tower that is a fine example of the Alto Aragón region's typical fortified churches. The hermitages of San Blas and San Clemente, both from the sixteenth century, are also a highly recommended visit.
Broto jail is another of the town's most important buildings, a massive stone tower built to defend the river and where the Conzello -the town council- and its court met. At the beginning of the 16th century it began to be used as a jail and, in fact, its main attraction are the impressive engravings made by the prisoners.
