Graus

Graus is a municipality in Huesca Province in Aragon situated in the northern mountainous region of the autonomous community. The town center features typical characteristics of a medium-sized mountain settlement with multi-story buildings arranged around a central plaza and connected by narrow streets.

The settlement originated in the Middle Ages as a small community and developed through its position on regional trade routes. Its buildings combine features from different periods, showing how local construction and usage patterns evolved over centuries.
