A route through Zaragoza
At mid-afternoon, Aljafería Palace awaits. Don't miss this Moorish gem, the most important 11th century civil construction in the Islamic West, with stunning areas such as the Santa Isabel and San Martín patios, or the polychromed coffering of the Throne Room. To finish off the day, we would suggest that you head back to the centre of the city and visit the Patio de la Infanta, a 16th century architectural gem with various works by artist Francisco de Goya. If you are interested in art by this great painter, you can see more in the Ibercaja Camón Aznar Museum (MICAZ), housed in the Renaissance Palace of the Pardo, where the four large series of engravings by Goya are displayed in one of the rooms.
Zaragoza still has much more to see. This is why it is best to stay on for two or three days if possible. It is the best way to take a closer look at all this city has to offer. We recommend you make for any of the tourist offices, where they will help you plan your visit. These are the most outstanding monuments in the regional capital of Aragon.

You can start the day in Plaza del Pilar Square, alongside the Ebro River. Here you will find three of the city's emblematic buildings: The Pilar Basilica, church and universal symbol of Zaragoza; La Lonja Palace, the region of Aragon's most important 16th century civil building, venue for many exhibitions throughout the year; San Salvador Cathedral (the "Seo"), Aragon's most valuable and significant monument, where you will find medieval artistic styles reflected, along with Renaissance and Baroque elements.
