Cáseda

Here, the hamlet sits on a hill on the left bank of the River Aragón, under the constant watch of Mount San Pedro. From here, the mountain ranges of Ujué, Izco and Leyre seem to merge into a horizon where the southern plain and the rugged terrain unfold like chapters of a time that unfolds unhurriedly. The village reveals itself in the contrast between its stone terraces and the constant murmur of the water, where the memory of ancient border paths speaks of a past that remains suspended in the air.

Cáseda general information

Located in the Sangüesa region, Cáseda has an identity that unfolds across 85.6 km² where traditional agriculture and forests of pine and poplar trees interact with a unique dynamism. The valley’s recent history is intertwined with the founding, in 1975, of Viscofán, whose production centre stands today as a testament to innovation, integrating industrial cutting-edge technology into the fabric of a landscape which, though modern, continues to preserve the memory of every stone and every path.

What to see in Cáseda?

Cáseda is best discovered step by step, amongst stones and water, churches and footpaths.

• Parish Church of La Asunción: The stonework of this church houses the work of the sculptor Juan de Anchieta, a testament to Renaissance art that blends into the heart of the town.
• Chapel of San Zoilo: This building stands as a stone landmark in the Cáseda landscape, being one of the most significant elements of our traditional religious architecture.
• The course of the River Aragón and the Bardenas Canal: The river crosses the territory from east to west, whilst the engineering of the Bardenas Canal overcomes the terrain via tunnels that pass through the hills of San Pedro and El Pinar, regulating the use of water in our irrigated lands.
• San Isidro del Pinar: In the southern foothills, this village, surrounded by wooded hills, bears witness to the expansion of rural life in the municipality, under the watchful eye of the El Pinar hill.
• Civil architecture and the Calvario Chapel: A stroll through the streets of the hill reveals the style of the stone houses that have stood in the municipality for centuries, culminating at gathering points such as the Calvario Chapel.
