We will start our Free Tour of Zaragoza next to the sculpture of Goya , in the central Plaza del Pilar. With the approval of this genius, we will travel to the past of the city from the Museum of the Roman Forum , located in the Plaza de la Seo, where the Roman remains of what was the nerve center of Caesaraugusta are found. In this same location we will find one of the two cathedrals in Zaragoza, the Seo , also known as the Cathedral of El Salvador and which has been declared a World Heritage Site due to its Mudejar elements.
We will visit the tourist Plaza del Pilar . Did you know that it is one of the largest pedestrian squares in Europe? On our way we will discover emblematic points such as La Lonja, the Town Hall, the Fuente de la Hispanidad and, of course, the monumental Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of Pilar. We will admire its exterior architecture and learn some curiosities about the Patron Saint of Hispanic Heritage.
Shall we continue? Many more surprises await us on our way, for example, the San Juan de los Panetes Church with its characteristic tower, the Roman walls and the monument to César Augusto .
Zaragoza is nicknamed the City of the Four Cultures , since throughout history the great civilizations that have occupied the country have inhabited this city. The Torreón de la Zuda is a living testimony that will tell us about the Muslim footprint in the city.
Not only can Zaragoza boast of heritage, gastronomy and local products require a well-deserved stop. From the emblematic Central Market , a jewel of modernism, we will talk about all this while we allow ourselves to be delighted.
But this does not end here! We will continue our Free Tour through the streets of Zaragoza talking about curiosities until we reach El Tubo, the tapas area of the city. We have many recommendations prepared.
We will finish our free tour of Zaragoza next to the Roman Theatre , an architectural marvel that takes us back to the Roman past from which we started and leaves us even more eager to continue enjoying the city.
