Tips from the Community
The ruins found on the track that connects Luesia with the Pígalo pools are known as the castle of Sibirana. The ruins of the hermitage of Santa Quiteria also remain from this deserted area. This nucleus is part of a defensive line ordered to be built in the 10th century by King Sancho Garcés I of Pamplona. The sight of the towers erected on two stone masses gives an idea of the magnitude and engineering of these structures.

On our way along the track from Luesia to the Pígalo pools, we come across the castle of Sibirana built to control the passage from Uncastillo and from Luesia through the Onsella river valley. In addition to the castle, there are remains of the hermitage of Santa Quiteria, both in the Aragonese Romanesque style and of a dozen houses at the foot of the castle on its south face.
