First of all, we would like to explain what the Serrablo Churches are and why you should visit them.
Why should you visit them?
A group of churches built in the upper basin of the Gállego river (Alto Gállego region, in Aragón, Spain), generally on the left bank, between the 10th and 11th centuries, are known as Serrablo churches. However, at the end of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century, its area of influence was extended, giving rise to the construction of similar churches on the other bank of the Gállego river, for example: the case of Barós and Lerés.
The churches of Serrablo are Historical Artistic Monument and of Cultural Interest.
Which architectural style do they belong to?
There are two currents, one of which includes them among the Mozarabic or pre-Romanesque.
Mozarabic, built from the 10th century by Christian communities under Islamic rule (Antonio Durán Gudiol and the Friends of Serrablo Association); Pre-Romanesque or an early Romanesque style from the 11th century, which emerged at the beginning of the Kingdom of Aragon. In this case it would be an early Romanesque architecture with elements of Mozarabic art taken from Muslim architecture and with influences of Lombard Romanesque.
The Interpretation Center is located in Lárrede, where guided tours are organized on certain days and at certain times.
