Catarecha, Deserted medieval village in Valle de Echo, Spain.
The stone remains of Catarecha spread across the mountainous terrain of Valle de Echo, showing the layout of a former settlement.
First documented in 1215, Catarecha gradually lost its population during subsequent centuries until becoming completely uninhabited in the medieval period.
The Virgen de Catarecha Hermitage, built in 1659, stands as a testament to the religious practices of former inhabitants in this Aragonese settlement.
Located at coordinates 42.711111°N and 0.701389°W, Catarecha can be reached through hiking paths in the Huesca Province of Aragon.
The village structure reveals medieval construction techniques specific to Pyrenean settlements, with foundations adapted to the mountainous terrain.
