Castle of Santa Bárbara, Zaragoza, Medieval fortress and hermitage site in Zaragoza, Spain.

The castle structure stands at 346 meters above sea level, offering views across the Aragonese capital from its strategic defensive position.

The fortress, constructed during the 12th century Reconquista period, later incorporated a hermitage built in 1690 by the Brotherhood of Santa Barbara.

The site hosted annual pilgrimages every May 1st during the 19th century, where local communities gathered for celebrations and feasts.
