Barbastro, Historic municipality in Somontano region, Spain

Located at the intersection of Cinca and Vero rivers, Barbastro stands at 341 meters elevation in the Huesca Province of northern Spain.

The settlement, originally named Bergidum by Celtiberians, transformed into an Islamic emirate capital before its capture by Peter I of Aragon in 1101.

The municipality maintains strong wine traditions through its Denominación de Origen certification, granted in 1984 for local wine production methods.

The municipality contains multiple solar parks, including Regadera Solar and Pasadizo Solar, contributing to regional renewable energy generation initiatives.

Fifty-one Catholic Claretians met their end in Barbastro during the Spanish Civil War, marking a significant chapter in religious history.
