Converging valleys
Fuentes de Ebro, a fertile land of crops with protected designation of origin, sits on an escarpment crowned by the church of San Miguel Arcángel, the cultural and artistic centrepiece of the town. On the outside, the slender neo-Gothic tower commissioned from the architect Félix Navarro at the beginning of the 20th century to replace the original Mudejar tower, which had stability problems.
The interior of the temple seduces at first sight with its spaciousness, luminosity, elegance and richness and makes us understand why it is one of the most beautiful works of the Renaissance in Aragon. On the exterior brick walls of the primitive apse of this church, which has been converted into an entrance, various Mudejar tracery motifs have been preserved, basically interlacing to form lozenges. The Palace of the Counts of Fuentes, the hermitage of Santa Bárbara and the Roman site of La Corona are also worth a visit.

Agricultural use
Although it is true that we have not preserved a moment in the locality, we can affirm that Fréscano is closely linked to Mudejar culture. This is due to the existence of a Muslim population residing in the locality. We know that 450 people left Fréscano during the expulsion of the Moors.
In addition, we can still see part of the urban layout inherited from the Moorish period, which we can see through narrow streets, alleys and bends. However, the most notable survival can be found in the use of water resources in the form of extensive irrigation networks, the most outstanding example of which are the irrigation ditches. We also have an example of 20th century hydraulic engineering, the Casa de Elevación de Aguas, which today houses a museum.
A visit to its Baroque parish church dedicated to the Virgen del Pilar and the Palace of the Dukes of Villahermosa, a fine example of 16th century Aragonese Renaissance architecture, are not to be missed.
