Its striking landmark is the five-sided *Citadel*, built in the late 16th century under Philip II. The **Cathedral of San Pedro**, begun in the last quarter of the 11th century and one of Spain's oldest Romanesque buildings, attests to Jaca's position on the Aragonese *Camino de Santiago*. In its cloister, the Diocesan Museum displays Romanesque murals from surrounding churches. Discover the old town with its alleys and enjoy the local cuisine in traditional establishments. Jaca serves as an excellent base for hiking and winter sports in the surrounding mountains; visit the city ideally in spring or autumn for a relaxed exploration.
