Zaragoza

Among the cities of Aragon, Zaragoza stands out for its monumental setting beside the Ebro, Spain’s longest river. The city grew from the Roman colony of Caesaraugusta, and traces of that foundation remain in its Roman Theatre and the forum museum near the river. On Plaza del Pilar, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar and La Seo define one of Spain’s great civic squares; La Seo forms part of the UNESCO-listed Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon. Across town, the 11th-century Aljafería Palace preserves an exceptional Islamic court complex and now houses the Aragonese parliament.
