The shelter
In the foothills of the Sierra de Algairén and at the foot of a hill that protects its hamlet, is the town of Cosuenda.
The remains of the castle can be seen on a nearby hill. It was built as a refuge from the threats of Castilian invasion in the 14th century and, as in other castles in Aragon, a church was built inside it. In the most strategic corner is the emblem of Cosuenda: the Lisalta tower.

The fortified tower of La Lisalta
With a square floor plan of about 5 metres on each side, its walls are made of masonry with brick reinforced corners and the upper body is made entirely of brick in the Mudejar style. The recent restoration has solved the structural problems and part of the tower has been rebuilt.
The building has round-arched openings to house bells, and some theories suggest that it may have been the bell tower of the church that no longer exists. The entrance doorway, located high up, retains the interior pointed arch, also made of brick. Next to it there are still the remains of strong masonry walls that may have formed part of a small interior fortification for the defence of the isolated tower.
The artistic historical tour is complemented by the church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, a baroque style temple; some stately homes such as the house of the pianist Pilar Bayona, and other buildings such as the old inn, which today houses the town hall and in the past was the hermitage of San Juan. The old rock-hewn cellars in the upper part of the village are also of historical value.
