The Santa María Romanic church (XII century) is a huge single construction finished with three apsis that make up its defensive system. There are dwelling ruins and a wall surrounding the church.
Our next stop on this medieval Ribagorza route is Roda de Isabena. The Obarra Monastery is at the end of the road through the Bonansa canyon.
The best route is from Tierrantona to Graus along the Troncedo road. In Graus we will take the Capella road quickly to Roda de Isabena. The views along this route are exceptional.

Most interesting to the visitor is how such a small village can have such an impressive cathedral. It used to be the head of the region both politically and religiously. Its urban layout is typically medieval, with narrow cobblestone streets plagued with Romanic arches. In the center of this maze stands the beautiful yet unknown cathedral. Built in the X century in honour of San Vicente, it has been reformed a few times. It has three crypts under its three buildings and its cloister is very well preserved with its collection of almost 200 tombstone epigraphs on its walls and its cistern/well in the center of the patio.

Next to the temple we will find the XVI century abbey palace to complete this not-to-be-missed tour.
Leaving the town along the A-1605 north to La Puebla de Roda and leaving it behind we reach our destination perfectly posted on the right of the road.
Dedicated to Santa María de Obarra this monastery sits on the bank of the Isábena river. This Visigoth compound (IX century) is made up of three buildings, so we can imagine the importance it must have had: The Santa María church and the San Pablo hermitage are from the XI century and of Romanic style, While the abbatial palace was built between the XII and XVI centuries. The latter being in partial ruins.
