The town of Sos dei Catolico has been declared a Historic/Artistic Site. It is one of the most interesting medieval cities and architectural sites in the Spanish Pyrenees.
Spanish Pyrenees Hike ~ Zaragoza (Region)
The town of Sos sits on a rocky ridge and is surrounded by Gothic walls, parts of which are integrated into the buildings themselves. Seven ancient gates still exist: Fuente Alta or Reina (the grandest gate, located below a trapezoidal tower with battlements); Jaca and Nador, each with a defensive tower; Zaragoza, with two towers on either side; El Mudo (the only building with pointed arches), with a tower on either side; and Unicastillo and Bueno, of which only arches and surviving stone arches exist;
The castle is located on a small promontory. It dates back to the 12th century and has been reformed since then. It has an irregular plan with a circular tower protected by arrow slits and a narrow square keep 6 meters wide at the center, topped with battlements.

Does this count as revitalizing historical architecture?
A journey to the Pyrenees in Spain ~ Zaragoza (region)
The highest point is located on the Feliciana rock, where a stone tower now stands. Long ago, a wooden castle once stood there, but it was destroyed many years ago. This is a very beautiful place with a rich history, offering the best views of SOS and its surrounding areas, including the distant Valentuñana Monastery.

It has an impressive historical and artistic heritage.
Spanish Pyrenees Hike ~ Zaragoza (Region)
A unique monumental site in Aragon. Uncastillo is located 110 km north of Zaragoza. Special mention should be made of the Castillo Fortress, whose "Torre del Homenaje" (main building) was originally built in the 11th century and restored in the 14th century, where the Tower Museum is located. There is also the Gothic Palace of Peter IV, dating from the same century and a unique example of Gothic palace architecture in Aragon. Santa Maria Church is a designated cultural heritage site and features a cloister and Romanesque/Gothic decorations. The Church of San Juan is also designated a cultural property and features 13th-century frescoes. Finally, we should mention medieval (13th century) exchanges. It is also worth visiting the Los Bañales Archaeological Zone, one of the main Roman sites in Aragon. The beautiful surrounding countryside makes Ancastillo a great place for hiking. In summer, there are craft fairs here where you can see stonework, ironwork, woodwork and embroidery.
