Zaragoza, Spain

Zaragoza Spain

Zaragoza is the culminant point in the valley of Ebro, Spain's most water-bearing river, and it is strategically located between Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia and Toulouse. Zaragoza is one of the great monumental towns in Spain. It was founded some 2000 years ago, and Old-Iberians, Romans, Goths and Muslims equally left their heritage. Today the town is economically very active, and organizes several important international fairs and has a vibrant music scene. The main temple in Zaragoza is the Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar. It has 11 domes and they defines the skyline of the city with brightly coloured tiles. It is the second centre of pilgrimage in Spain after the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. In its interior the wall-paintings in the cupola, works of Goya and Bayeau, are of particular interest. In the church’s museum you can see a large collection mainly of religious art. The view of the Cathedral of Zaragoza along the river is one of the best postcards of the city. And at night, it is even more beautiful. A perfect setting for a walk or for a romantic date. The Palacio de la Aljaferia, an 11th century splendid king's palace with intricate decorations including ceilings of gold, is one of the very few remaining Moorish buildings in the city. Zaragoza is a dynamic and modern town with a unique food and bar culture. The city is a real architectural treasure and a growing young population guarantees a busy night life.
