Fraga is the capital of the Bajo Cinca region in the province of Huesca, strategically located on the banks of the Cinca River. The town features a rich history dating back to Roman times, evidenced by the impressive mosaics of Villa Fortunatus, a rural estate from the 2nd century. During the Middle Ages, Fraga was an important Muslim enclave known as Medina Afraga before being reconquered in 1149 by the troops of Ramon Berenguer IV. The historical district is characterized by narrow streets and the Church of San Pedro, built on the foundations of a former mosque. Economically, Fraga is a major hub for fruit production, particularly peaches and figs, which are exported globally. The town serves as a cultural bridge between Aragon and Catalonia, reflected in the local language, Fratí, a variant of Catalan.
