Huesca

The city sits at an elevation of 488 meters in northeastern Spain, with the Guara Mountains to the north and the Flumen River crossing the territory.

The settlement started as Ileosca, capital of the Vescitan Iberian tribe, later becoming Osca during Roman times and functioning as a significant mint center.

The Cathedral of Huesca, constructed between the 13th and 16th centuries, displays architectural elements from various periods, including Gothic and Renaissance styles.

The local economy combines livestock farming, agricultural machinery manufacturing, public administration services, and tourism activities throughout the year.

The College of Santiago, established in 1534, houses provincial archives and an art museum displaying regional collections within its historical walls.
