Sos del Rey Católico

Sos del Rey Católico is a quaint, historic town with a population of just over 600. Founded as "Sos" by Sancho I of Pamplona during the Reconquista in the early 10th century, the town changed its name to Sos del Rey Católico, after Ferdinand II of Aragon (aka "el Católico") was born here in 1452. The town is built on a mountaintop. You enter it by foot through the medieval gates, as the old walls, that surround the town still exist.

On the highest point, next to the "Iglesia de San Esteban" was the castle once. Today the visitors have a nice view over the town´s roofs from that spot. The large building in the center is the "Palacio de los Sada", where "el Católico" was born.
