Santa María de Obarra

The stone structure of Santa María de Obarra sits at the base of a valley near the Isábena River, framed by the La Croqueta gorge.

Founded in 801, the monastery became part of the Cluniac Order in 1076 and maintained strong connections with the Ribagorzano county throughout medieval times.

The church interior contains a square baptismal font showing Visigothic influences and houses a 14th-century statue of the Virgin of Obarra.

Visitors can access the monastery by crossing a bridge built in 1978 over the Isábena River, with guided tours available during Easter, spring weekends, and summer.

The church structure follows a numerical design pattern representing religious concepts, with thick walls measuring exactly three meters in specific sections.
