It was one of the most prominent monasteries in Aragon in the Middle Ages. Its two-level church is partially carved in the stone of the great cliff that overhangs the foundation. San Juan de la Peña means 'Saint John of the Cliff'.

Later King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia moved to Jaca, the capital of the Aragonese Pyrenees. They toured its streets and most emblematic areas of the city. The director of the Museo Diocesano explained to Their Majesties the tradition of placing a white flag on the highest point of the Cathedral, a symbol that indicates that the city is free of an epidemic which gave free passage to the pilgrims who had to follow the Camino de Santiago.

To conclude their day the Royal Couple moved to the Pabellón de Hielo (Ice Pavilion), where they held a working meeting with representatives of the Aragón tourism sector. They discussed the Aragón Tourism Sector Shock Plan to combat the crisis generated by COVID-19.
