Villa Fortunatus is a Roman agricultural villa; the remains open to visitors date from the 4th century and are arranged around a central courtyard. The complex includes a well-preserved early Christian basilica, regarded as an important example of early Christian art in Aragon.

Palacio Montcada is a manor house built at the end of the 17th century from ashlar stone in the traditional style of Aragonese Renaissance civil architecture. It was restored as a cultural centre in 1986; today it houses the municipal library, an event hall, the historical archive, exhibition rooms and a museum dedicated to the traditions of Fraga.

The complex locally known as Castillo de Fraga belongs to the former Iglesia de San Miguel, which was built over a medieval castle. Casa Museo Sabaté is a biographical and monographic museum dedicated to the painter S. Sabaté.
