The 15th-century Gothic tower of Lacorvilla castle

On the road connecting Ejea and Luna with Huesca, a stone's throw from the modern town of Luna, stands the Castillo de Yéquera, also known as the castle of Yecra or Lacorvilla. Its origin dates back to the 15th century, but it consists of Gothic expansions from that time. The castillo de Yéquera was likely a Muslim fortification before the 15th century, repopulated by Sancho Ramírez’s merino Banzo Azcón in 1093. Yéquera was part of a border defensive line of Aragon.

The castle was strategically located on the road connecting Ejea and Luna with Huesca and had a protective role in the advance of the Reconquista. By the 14th and 15th centuries, the Castillo de Yéquera belonged to the powerful Luna family. The castle's area was not large and had an irregular shape. The castle's walled area consisted of two parts, now separated. The main tower is Gothic and measures about 15 meters in height. The tower is divided into three floors and has a semi-circular entrance. The castle has windows with pointed arches. The castle is in a state of progressive ruining.
