Zaragoza, strategically located in northeastern Spain and the capital of Aragon, is a city that captivates with its deep historical heritage and contemporary dynamism. With over 2000 years of existence, since its Roman founding as Caesaraugusta in 14 BC, it has been a crucial enclave for various civilizations. This melting pot of cultures – Roman, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian – has bequeathed an exceptional monumental heritage.
The emblem of Zaragoza is, without a doubt, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pilar, an imposing baroque masterpiece that dominates the Ebro riverbank and attracts visitors from all over the world. No less impressive is the Cathedral of the Savior, known as La Seo, which blends styles from Romanesque to Neoclassical. Another architectural landmark is the Aljafería Palace, an extraordinary example of Hispanic Islamic architecture dating from the 11th century, which today houses the Aragonese Parliament.
The birthplace of Francisco de Goya invites exploration of his legacy at the Goya Museum, which houses an important collection of his engravings. Beyond its monuments, Zaragoza offers a vibrant cultural life, with numerous museums, theaters, and festivals throughout the year, notably the Fiestas del Pilar in October.
