Castillo de Sibirana

The Castle of Sibirana, or simply Sibirana (or Sibrana), is the name given to an abandoned village of which only a castle and a church (the Hermitage of Santa Quiteria) survive, both in the Aragonese Romanesque style. The site lies in the municipality of Uncastillo (province of Zaragoza). It is 12 km from Uncastillo and 10 km from Luesia.

Sibirana can be reached by a track that runs from Luesia to the Pigalo pool, leaving the track near Pigalo along a path heading north-west. Sibirana can also be reached from Petilla de Aragón via the long-distance footpath (GR) that runs from Sos del Rey Católico to the castle of Royta, along a route of great interest from the historical, natural and scenic points of view.

The Castle of Sibirana is legally protected by its declaration as a Bien de Interés Cultural by the Government of Aragon, with both the castle and the whole estate on which it stands being privately owned.
