Monzón

Monzón is a town in the province of Huesca, Aragon, Spain, on the Cinca. Its castle, taken from the Muslims in 1089, later belonged to the Knights Templar, who brought up the young King James I there. The town often hosted the general Corts of the Crown of Aragon, joint assemblies of Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia, from the 13th to the 17th century.
