What are you waiting for to visit this amazing city?

Start your visit at the Puente de Piedra

The Puente de Piedra is the best place to start your visit to Zaragoza, with incredible views of the Basílica del Pilar. It is the oldest bridge that crosses the river Ebro and whose origins go back to the Romans, 2000 years ago.

Where this bridge is found today, there was already a wooden bridge in Roman times. In front of one of the main gates of the city, it served as both a bridge and an aqueduct. Due to the great floods of the river Ebro, the bridge has been rebuilt on several occasions.

It's a perfect place to take pictures of yourself - come on!
