The chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is surrounded by almond trees. It is a simple, rectangular building, heavily remodeled, constructed over an important Roman imperial and late-imperial Christian site, which has provided significant Roman epigraphic remains, such as the early Christian tombstones visible on the facade. The village of Coscojuela de Fantova is located on a promontory, allowing for a stroll through its sloping streets. This area is known for having a Roman site from the 1st century AD, giving it a special charm.

This area has excellent sky quality, away from major populations, where you can discover two somewhat hidden constellations: Sagittarius and Scorpius (observable just above the southern horizon). Sagittarius (a mythical creature, half-man, half-horse) appears more like a teapot with a handle and spout, from which steam (the Milky Way) seems to rise.

Next to it is the constellation of Scorpius, with its brightest star, Antares, standing out for its brightness—it’s a red giant, one of the largest star types (about 12 times the mass of the Sun).

The Chapel of Saint George, located in the pre-Monegrin landscape, is of popular style and retains a Romanesque-style entrance with archivolts likely belonging to the original 13th-century chapel. Its facade features a striking belfry.

Its elevated location is excellent for orientation in any direction.

Sus cielos son extraordinarios y desde aquí podrás observar la constelación más importante del cielo norte: la Osa Mayor, la tercera constelación más grande.

Its skies are extraordinary, and from here, you can observe the most important constellation of the northern sky: the Big Dipper, the third largest constellation.

Observers in the northern hemisphere can see it every night throughout the year. The two stars at the outer edge of the Big Dipper’s bowl, Merak and Dubhe, are called the “Pointers” because they point to Polaris (the North Star). To find Polaris, draw an imaginary line between these two stars and extend it about five times. When you find Polaris, you’re on your way to finding the Little Dipper and eventually the constellation of Ursa Minor. Polaris is the brightest star in Ursa Minor, marking the end of the Little Dipper’s handle.

On the old transhumance route between the Pyrenees (Broto) and the lowlands (Mequinenza) lies the Chapel of Saint Roman, a frequent stop for shepherds making this journey. Just a kilometer from the Barbastro to Huesca highway, its location does not affect night observation at all.
It is a charming Baroque chapel from the late 18th century, built of stone. Adjacent to it is the former hermit’s residence and guesthouse. In the same square stands a stone cross.

A perfect spot to learn about the love stories written in the sky, specifically those of the stars Vega and Altair, which form part of the exceptional summer triangle.

Vega was a beautiful princess who wove lovely garments by the river formed by the Milky Way. She met Altair, and they instantly fell in love. They married and had two children, but they forgot their duties and tasks. Vega’s father separated the lovers, forbidding them from seeing each other. However, he relented and told his daughter that if she worked hard and finished weaving, they could meet every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.

On a clear night, look for the three bright, beautiful blue-white stars high in the eastern sky, forming a triangle. This is the Summer Triangle, an asterism of the stars Altair, Deneb, and Vega, visible every July.

The Chapel of Saint Macarius is dedicated to the patron saint of Pozán de Vero, Saint Macarius, an Egyptian hermit from the 4th century, whose feast is celebrated on January 2. It was built in 1767 along the old road from Barbastro to Alquézar and is part of the Route oh Chapels. 

This is a great place for lunar observation. Are you ready to discover the myths about the moon?

• • The moon has a permanent dark side. False: The far side (dark) of the moon is constantly hidden from Earth observers.
  • The moon is perfectly round. False, it’s slightly flattened like a ball.
  • The moon is white and bright. False: It reflects sunlight and is actually grey, like worn asphalt.
  • There’s no gravity on the moon. False: Gravity is only about one-sixth of Earth’s gravity.
  • Full moons make you crazy. False, though we associate ‘lunatic’ with madness.
  • Full moon phases affect sleep: true. Sleep patterns are influenced by the moon’s phases.
