The most dominant feature of the city is the stone bridge, Puente de Piedra, which stands proudly over the Ebro River at its widest point. The bridge was built in 1813 and features Italian, Basque and French architecture.
Zaragoza is one of the great monumental towns in Spain. It was founded some 2000 years ago, and Old-Iberians, Romans, Goths and Arabians equally left their heritage. The Baslica de Nuestra Seora del Pilar is one of the most visited places of pilgrimage in all of Spain. The gothic Catedral de la Seo was built in the 14th century over an older Romanesque temple. In its interior, which consists of five naves with lateral chapels, the main-altar with splendid reliefs and the Mudejar-style apse are remarkable.
At the Central Market you will find lots of young, friendly people and a wealth of good music. The Bolivia La Paz is an area of fashionable locals, trendy people and a great array of local specialties all set in a stylish ambience. The impressive bullring plays host to some of the most important corridas in Spain. For some tranquility in the city, visit the Primo Rivera Park, with its wide avenues, lush environment with a multitude of sporting activities.
On the Route of Moncayo, 43 km from Zaragoza is the old-Iberian settlement Bursao, with remains of the first inhabitants of Spain. The closest village, Borja, is the centre of an important viticultural region and has a few interesting monuments as well as the ruins of a medieval fortress and the highly individual Casa de las Conchas.
Zaragoza Airport is located about 12km from the city.
