Welcome to my channel!
Bienvenidos a Zaragoza, join me on a virtual tour to discover this hidden gem, here's the best things to do in Zaragoza with a detailed guide for you to a wonderful experience.
Zaragoza is an ancient city dating back to the 5th century BC, later claimed by the Roman empire in the 14 century BC, and as the legend tells, a very important site for Caesar Augustus, so as he named the city Caesar Augusta.
A strong post of defense against the advancing Visigoth Kingdom.
Later The Muslim dominance.
They arrived in 714 , conquered the city and renamed it Saraqusta. Like it was for the Romans, this city became a logistical base for them, acting as a starting point for Muslim invasions around the Ebro Valley and into France.
Catholics Reconquista.
It was this very palace that would become the home of the next person to rule this city; Alfonso I. Known as "the Battler" this Christian King marched into town in 1118 and put an end to 4 centuries of Muslim rule. He made the magnificent Aljaferia his home, renamed the city Zaragoza/Saragossa, and made it the capital of of the newly formed Kingdom of Aragon.

In 1412 then King of Aragon, Ferdinand II married Isabella of Castile and set into motion a sequence of events that would eventually lead to the formation and unity of Spain as we know it today. This famous couple would also be the ones who finally agreed to fund legendary explorer Christopher Columbus, leading to the discovery of The Americas, and helping to spread the reign of the ever expanding kingdom of Aragon. These two also oversaw the "reconquista" from the Muslims in the south, the expulsion of Zaragoza's Jews and the orders of the infamous Spanish Inquisition. In fact, it was in the Aljaferia where the inquisitors held their courts from 1706 and onwards.
Zaragoza is a Must for anyone and surely an astonishing hidden Gem.
