Zaragoza (Saragosse)

Zaragoza is the capital of the region of Aragon, in the northeast of Spain. Overlooking the Ebro River in the city center, the Baroque Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar is a famous pilgrimage site with a shrine to the Virgin Mary and several domes. The city's Mudéjar-style monuments, which combine Islamic and Gothic architecture, include the Aljaferia, a Moorish palace dating from the 11th century, and the Cathedral of Saint Savior, whose construction began in the 12th century.
