Everything about Benavarri totally explained
Benabarre (
Aragonese:
Benabarri,
Catalan:
Benavarri) is a town in the
Aragonese county of
Ribagorza, in the
province of Huesca,
Spain.
Traditionally, Benabarre was the capital of the historic
County of Ribagorza, which was more expansive in territory than today, and included the
comarca of
Alta Ribagorça, now in the province of
Lerida,
Catalonia.
It was during the
Spanish War of Independence, from 1808-1814, that the
French Napoleonic troops, in retaliation, decided to make Graus the temporary capital of the county.
Graus' population since that time has increased such that it's the largest town in
Ribagorza and has consequently evolved into the role of administrative county seat. Despite this,
Benabarre continues to be a significant historical and cultural center of attraction.
