Huesca - Provincial Museum

(Local Name: 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'',
