Cathedral Of San Salvador
Zaragoza has the privilege of having two cathedrals. As well as the Basílica del Pilar, there is the Cathedral of San Salvador, built on the site of the oldest and largest mosque in the city. It is one of the best examples of Spanish Mudejar art and houses the Tapestry Museum. A must see!
La Aljafería
A World Heritage Site since 1986, the Aljafería is noted for its beautiful Torre del Trovador, an impressive construction chosen by Verdi as the location for his opera “Il Trovadore”. Nearby is the Aljafería Castle-Palace where we can immerse ourselves in the old Taifas kingdom and admire its Throne Room and the famous Santa Isabel patio. Surrounded by horseshoe arches, enjoy the silence and peacefulness of this oasis in the middle of the bustling city. Are you interested in Mudejar art? If so, be sure to also visit the Torreón de Fortea, the Torreón de la Zuda and the Convent of the Santo Sepulcro.
Lonja De Mercaderes
Located between the Town Hall and the Forum, and built by the council in the 16th century, the Lonja has an exquisite Renaissance look about it, with an impressive main room with banded columns and a ribbed vaulted ceiling. The perfect setting for admiring any of the interesting exhibitions it holds throughout the year.
Roman Walls (Murallas De Caesaraugusta)
The city was named after the Roman Emperor Augustus, hence its designation as Caesar Augusta which was later transformed to become “Zaragoza”. Its Roman past can still be seen in the remnants of the walls that protected the city from barbarian invasions in the third century. It had more than 120 towers and was three kilometres in length, and today is still a lofty and challenging 80 metres high, a reminder of its battletorn and glorious past.
Roman Museums
Zaragoza has four Roman museums that can be visited with a joint entrance ticket: River Port, Public Baths, Caesaraugusta Theatre and the Forum. A tour of this historical legacy is the best way to understand how people lived in the city during the late Roman period, when the population grew to 18,000 inhabitants.
Bridge Pavilion For The Expo 2008
Designed by the Iranian architect Zara Hadid for the 2008 International Exhibition on Water and Sustainable Development, this pavilion looks into the future. It connects both sides of the river Ebro and houses an exhibition room that deserves to be visited if only to admire its amazing location.
