Aragon Guide

The village of Santa Cruz de la Seros is famous for its traditional architecture, with its houses made of stone and finished with the typical roof of slabs and the spectacular trunkconic chimneys. We are talking of one of the villages with bigger architectonic value of the county.

Its surname, "de la Seros", comes from its secular connexion with the noons (sorores or serores, in Aragonese) who, until the end of the 16th Century, lived in the Monastery. The Santa Cruz de Seros Monastery was founded in 922. At the beginning it was used as feminine Monastery reserved only to the kings and the principal Aragonese nobles' daughters. The monumental Church of Santa Maria, jewel of the Aragonese Romanesque of the 12th Century is the oldest monastery remain and it has remained practically intact, whereas the different rooms of the monastery were disappearing with the pass of time.

The Parochial Church, dedicated to San Caprasio, is at the exit of the village. This is a typical Lombard construction, that probably dates back to the 10th-11th Centuries. At its head, a tough tower, built at the end of the 12th Century, stands up.
Santa Cruz de la Seros has surgery, mail service, sportive installations and the possibility of taking, nearby, adventure sports activities.
