When was the castle of Aragon built?

The site is documented from 1287 onwards, but the building visible today dates from the 16th century, with significant modifications between the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

It is a defensive structure, often wooden, projecting above a gate for protection. At Aragon, the supports of the former bretèche remain visible as two quarter-round corbels.
