Sierra de San Just (Aragonese: Sierra de Sant Chust) is a mountain range in the Cuencas Mineras comarca of Aragon, Teruel Province, Spain. The highest point in the range is San Just (1,522 m). This range is located in one of the coldest and most rugged regions of Aragon.[1] Landslides are relatively frequent in the San Just mountains.[2]
Besides the mountain ranges, the Plains of Visiedo (Spanish: Llanos de Visiedo) near Visiedo, the Altos del Zancado, and the area surrounding Ejulve, are all part of the Sierra de San Just geographic zone.[3]
