Activity itinerary

Palacio de la Aljaferia (Pass by)

An 11th-century fortress-palace on the outskirts of the old town, now home to the regional parliament, blending Islamic-era horseshoe arches with later Christian Mudejar additions.

Monumento a Agustina de Aragon (Pass by)

A striking bronze monument to Zaragoza's heroine of the 1808 siege, sculpted by Mariano Benlliure, honouring the woman who fired a cannon against Napoleon's troops.

Puerta del Carmen (Pass by)

A bullet-scarred 18th-century stone gate, the last survivor of the city's twelve historic gates, still bearing marks from the Napoleonic sieges of Zaragoza.

Iglesia Parroquial de San Pablo Apostol (Pass by)

A Mudejar masterpiece nicknamed 'the third cathedral,' famed for its octagonal brick tower, coffered wooden ceiling, and a Goya fresco decorating one of its side chapels.

Plaza del Pilar (Pass by)

Zaragoza's grand central plaza, home to the Fuente de la Hispanidad fountain, a sculptural map of Latin America, and once the city's cemetery, now its vibrant living room.

Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pilar (Pass by)

One of Spain's most important pilgrimage sites, this baroque basilica houses the pillar on which the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to St. James, and its frescoed domes were partly painted by Goya.

La Lonja (Pass by)

This Renaissance merchants' exchange, built by wealthy silk traders, is one of Spain's finest civil buildings, with slender spiral columns and an elegant single hall once used for trading goods.

Puente de Piedra (Pass by)

This medieval stone bridge across the Ebro River has connected Zaragoza's old town to the rest of the city for centuries, offering classic postcard views of the Basilica del Pilar.

La Seo del Salvador (Pass by)

The Cathedral of the Savior blends Gothic, Mudejar, Baroque and Renaissance styles built over centuries, and stands on the site of a former Roman forum and mosque, with a museum of Flemish tapestries inside.

Museo del Teatro Romano de Caesaraugusta (Pass by)

The excavated remains of Caesaraugusta's Roman theatre, once able to seat 6,000 spectators, are now an archaeological museum revealing the city's Roman origins beneath the modern streets.
