The Castle of Montearagón is a Romanesque fortress-monastery in Quicena, near Huesca in Aragon, Spain, now in ruins. Construction began in 1085. In 1094 Sancho Ramírez reinforced the castle during the siege of the Muslim stronghold of Wasqah (Huesca), and he was killed there by a stray arrow while surveying the city's walls. It holds the status of a bien de interés cultural.
