Right next to El Pilar, but less well-known, you'll find La Seo Cathedral. Its exterior is already striking, but the interior is even more breathtaking. It also houses one of the finest tapestry collections in the world. A hidden gem.

A true marvel of Islamic architecture. It looks like something out of a fairy tale, with its arches and courtyards. Like a small Alhambra in the city center. Today it houses the Aragonese Parliament, but it's open to visitors.

A market with history, soul, and a great atmosphere. Its iron structure catches the eye from the outside, but the best part is inside: fruits, cheeses, cured meats, and anything you can imagine. Perfect for buying local products or just browsing. Next to the market, you can also find the remains of the ancient Roman wall and the statue of the city's founder, Caesar Augustus.

Caesaraugusta Roman Theatre

Zaragoza was also a Roman city, and this theatre is proof. Though not fully intact, part of its structure remains, and there’s a small exhibit to visit. A great place to imagine what the city was like over 2,000 years ago.
