Villanueva de Jalón, Abandoned village in Valdejalón, Spain.
The settlement stands on an elevated position overlooking the Jalón River, surrounded by agricultural terraces and ancient stone structures.
Founded in the 13th century, the village remained inhabited until 1968 when the last two families departed due to water supply difficulties.
The Church of Virgen de la Huerta contains a Mudejar brick tower, recognized as part of Aragon's Cultural Heritage.
Access to Villanueva de Jalón requires following the N-II road from Zaragoza toward Morata de Jalón, then continuing westward to Purroy.
The village preserves remnants of traditional irrigation systems that sustained crops like olives, grains, and vegetables along the river valley.
