Zaragoza Citytour Hotels

The main attraction of the old city is the Cathedral of Zaragoza Nuestra Senora del Pilar built in the baroque style with a wide array of decorations and stucco on the facade of the cathedral. The decoration of the cathedral strikes with its luxury as its halls are full of jasper, bronze, and numerous varieties of marble. The arches of the cathedral are covered with drawings made by the hand of Francisco Goya. Ancient legends say that a true miracle has happened in this cathedral - the Blessed Virgin appeared in front of Apostle James. It is also worth noting the outstanding San Salvador Cathedral designed in the gothic style.
