Huesca - Provincial Museum Museo Provincial

To the north of the Huesca Cathedral and the Town Hall, housed in the Baroque premises of the former Literary University, is the Provincial Museum, with eight rooms of prehistoric and Roman antiquities, Gothic frescoes (including 13th century Passion scenes from San Fructuoso de Bierge) and pictures of the 15th-19th centuries. Among the pictures are four Virgins by an unknown Italian master (15th-16th century), works by Francisco Camilo, Guido Reni and Claudio Coello, and four drawings by Goya.

The University was built over the old 12th century Aragonese royal palace. One of the surviving rooms was the scene of a grisly event in 1136 which became known as the ''Bell of Huesca'', when King Ramiro II summoned his rebellious nobles to meet here and had sixteen of them beheaded: fifteen of the heads were then laid on the ground in the shape of a bell, with the sixteenth suspended above them as the clapper.
