✨✨ Essential Places and Activities ⛰️🚶

• Basilica of the Pillar The undisputed symbol of Zaragoza and one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Its interior houses the Holy Chapel and works by Goya, while from its towers, you can enjoy spectacular views of the historic quarter and the river.
• La Seo Cathedral The Cathedral of the Savior (La Seo) is striking for its blend of styles—Romanesque, Gothic, Mudéjar, Renaissance, and Baroque—and for its magnificent Tapestry Museum. It is a must-see to understand the city's cultural richness.
• La Lonja (The Old Market Exchange) This Renaissance building, located next to the Basilica, stands out for its impressive interior hall with ribbed vaults. Today, it hosts temporary exhibitions and is one of the best examples of Zaragoza's civil heritage.
• Aljafería Palace A place that captivates all its visitors. Of Islamic origin, it has been a Mudéjar palace, a royal residence, a fortress, and the seat of the Parliament of Aragon. Its art and courtyards evoke the grandeur of other architectural gems like the Alhambra.
• Remains of Caesaraugusta Roman Zaragoza is preserved in several parts of the old town: the forum, the river port, the thermal baths, and the theater. These four spaces show what life was like in the city two thousand years ago.
• Charming Streets and Urban Life Strolling down Calle Alfonso I, with its direct views of the Basilica, is an experience in itself. It is also worth getting lost in the narrow streets that lead to small squares, discovering covered passages, or contemplating the mix of historical and contemporary architecture.
• Goya Museum – Ibercaja Collection With a broad representation of the Aragonese painter's work, along with pieces by other great artists, it is an essential stop for art lovers.
• Roman Walls and Historic Statues The remains of the ancient wall and the statue of Caesar Augustus recall the city's Roman past and are perfectly integrated into its current urban landscape.
