Compared with its neighboring and imposing Basilica of the Pillar, the Cathedral doesn´t impress from the outside. Once inside, you´ll be astonished with its collection or remarkable chancels, all around the temple´s periphery and also around the choir. And you can´t leave the church without visiting the Tapestries Museum. It´s a must for their quantity, quality and preservation state.

If you want to see a Arabic Palace in Zaragoza, make sure to visit the Palacio de la Aljaferia! Its a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Sight-and medieval palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Taifa of Zaragoza in Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. It was the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir. The palace reflects the splendour attained by the Taifa of Zaragoza at the height of its grandeur. It currently contains the Cortes (regional parliament) of the autonomous community of Aragon. The Arabic and Islamic influences are everywhere, from the arches and geometric patterns to the latticework. The gardens are breathtaking as well. Though empty of any furnishings, you can almost imagine The Sultan himself there in te year 1065 - he called it Qasr al-Surur" (Palace of the Joy) and to see the throne room which he presided over receptions was just amazing! Adults: €5. With a Young Person, Student or Pensioners (over 65) card: €1. Groups (over 20 people) and with Tourist Bus ticket: €4 per person. Children 0-12 years: Free.
