Discover Plasencia del Monte

Plasencia del Monte offers several specific points to consider when planning a trip: a Romanesque church, historic houses, a restaurant serving Aragonese dishes and a designated mountain bike route. When choosing a destination, you can weigh up whether architectural history, regional cuisine or a cycling trip should shape your stay. The village is located on the A-132.

Historic architecture in Plasencia del Monte

Casa Jiménez is a two-storey rectangular sandstone-block house with a tiled gabled roof. Ashlar blocks are dressed stones laid in regular courses. A gabled roof consists of two sloping roof surfaces; tiles serve as the roof covering, while the sandstone blocks form the house’s masonry.

A recessed cartouche featuring a six-petalled flower is set into the lintel; the inscription gives the year 1851.

The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Corona was built as a Romanesque place of worship using bricks and dressed stone blocks.

Casa Bernués and historic dates

Casa Bernués is in an advanced state of decay; only parts of the façade and a side wall remain. An inscription on the lintel dates the building to 1851 and names Tomás Bernués as its initiator. The Bernués family has been documented in Plasencia del Monte since 1550. The dates refer to different events: 1851 dates the construction of Casa Bernués; the Bernués family has been documented in Plasencia del Monte since 1550.

The houses have different features: at Casa Jiménez, the emphasis is on its form, materials, roof and a decorative detail; at Casa Bernués, its condition and inscription stand out.

Aragonese cuisine

At the El Cobertizo restaurant, visitors can try typical Aragonese dishes. This adds a specific connection to regional cuisine to the architectural attractions. If you would like to include a visit to the restaurant in your travel plans, check before you travel whether it is open.
