Likable hillock
to the Salto de Roldán
Place of the province of Huesca that
belongs to the municipality of Loporzano. In 1999 it had 43
inhabitants. Its altitude is of 685 meters on the level of the sea
and it's 15 quilómetres from Huesca. The inhabitants are naemd chibluquenses
and chiblucanos also.
On the left margin of the Flumen
river, between the Hole of Huesca and the somontano
(under mountains lands), Chibluco lives around a square, that
is where they are grouped most of the housings, houses of stone and
wall, with podium of ashlar masonry. It was path and group of judges
of Huesca at successive times. Constituted its City council
at 1834, was united to Barluenga two lustrums later, in 1845,
and both localities are, at the moment, places of Loporzano.
The population of Chibluco always had a diminished census,
with a hundred of inhabitants at the best times.
It depended on the monastery of Montearagón
in century XI already. because in March of 1099 Pedro I confirmed
to the mentioned monastery the church of Iuvelve, Iebluco.
The place appears writing with those orthographic forms. And also
Gebluco, in March of 1135, when Ramiro II of Aragón
donated to López Garcés the then village. Later simply appears
the monastery of Montearagón; the church of Chibluco
depended of it, until 1571, in which happened to the bishopric of
Huesca.
It is understood that the parish corresponds
with the style Romanesque of the time. It is dedicated to Santa
Cecilia and has rectangular plant of a single ship, with semicircular
apse. It is covered with vault of tube and quarter of sphere, of century
XII. The tower consists of a single body and appears mutilated in
its closing.

The facade of the temple is subsequent
to this one; it is opened in arc of half point with voussoirs, in
which some figurative graphics are appraised. This door seems to correspond
not before with century XVII or XVIII. In the interior emphasize two
elaborates chapitels.
Chibluco appears before the
eyes of the traveller in the same access road -today enough improved-
tiny, gathered and familiar. While we approached it, at some time
-and if the day is cleared- we can surprise with the majesty of the
mythical Jump of Roldán that lets see in the horizon its robust
“rocks” and the emptiness that exists among its.
Even with its small proportions, Chibluco
lets see activity. It is that common denominator who saves many small
towns -and not so small- of the landslide and abandonment. Masonry
works and houses shiningly rehabilitated speak of the use to which
they are destined: the summering and week ends that try rest to their
proprietors.
