The complex was built largely during the 11th and 12th centuries, when its position on the frontier between Christian and Muslim lands gave it strategic importance. The firstof the two major building programs began ca. 1020, when Sancho el Mayor (r. 1063–94) reconquered the surrounding lands from the Muslims. At least three towers, two of which survive, the Homage tower (Torre del Homenaje) and the "Tower of the Queen" (Torre de la Reina), aswell as a chapel dedicated to Saint Mary of Valverde and connecting walls are attributed to this campaign. The Homage tower was built in an isolated position in front of the fortifications, to which it was connected by a wooden bridge. It contained a basement and five floors. The Torre de la Reina, comprising a basement and three floors, is particularly noteworthy for three sets of twin-arched windows, with columns of exaggerated entasis and trapezoidal capitals that have been related to both Lombard and Mozarabic architectural forms. The chapel is composed of a single-cell nave with an eastern apse covered by a semicircular vault. The original timber roof of the nave was replaced by a vault at the end of the 11th century.
A far view of the complexepared for the conquest of Huesca in 1094. In 1097, however, his successor, Peter I of Aragon and Navarre, donated all the goods of Loarre to a new royal monastery at Montearagon. This evidence suggests that the second major construction program was undertaken between 1073 and 1097, and much building evidently does datefrom this period. By comparison with other monuments, however, it is also clear that the building and decorative program continued into the 12th century.
oarre was a collection of buildings bounded by curtain walls. Originally the internal plan included two towers and a chapel behind several curtain walls. Towards the end of the 11th century an additional chapel was built in Romanesque style just outside the castle walls.[2]
The outermost walls of the castle and their eight towers were erected in the 13th or 14th century. The church and castle have been the subject of numerous restorations, a major one in 1913 and subsequent ones, particularly during the 1970s, have resulted in the rebuilding of many walls and towers that had fallen into disrepair.

Loarre Castle lies, near a village by the same name, in the province of Huesca in Spain.
The following historical info is taken from a little Spanish booklet, titled Castillo Loarre, which I bought at the castle. My Spanish translation skills aren't great so forgive any mistakes that may occur.
Loarre Castle is situated in the southern foothills of the Pyrenees and is said to be the oldest fortified castle in Spain. Above the castle entrance is a inscription which dates back to 1096. However during excavations Roman and Iberian coins were found.
The castle we see today was built in the 11th century upon Roman walls and is said to be the starting point of the Romanesque style of architecture in Aragon.
It consists of two parts; the castle built in the times of King Sancho el Mayor, which has two towers, and the Romanesque monastery attached to the castle, built by Sancho Ramirez in 1071. In the monastery is a beautifully preserved Romanesque church with a crypt.
The walled enclosure at the castle's feet, with its 10 semicircular towers and one square one, was built in the 13th century. In this enclosure a civil settlement was situated of which nowadays only a watchtower remains.
The castle was never besieged because it was built during the expansion of the kingdom of Aragon and by the time it was finished its defensive aim was unneeded.
This is a very nice castle which offers great views over the Huesca valley and also the winding road leading to the castle, is a biker's delight! The castle was also one of the few castles which wasn't freely accessible when I visited Spain; you have to pay a small entrance fee.
