In the heart of Saragossa, a few minutes’ walk from the Hotel Sauce you will find The Cathedral of El Salvador – or popularly called La Seo. La Seo is an authentic witness to a long history that dates back to Roman times.

Do not miss the main altarpiece, its Gothic choir and the outer wall of the Parroquieta de La Seo, one of the masterpieces of Aragonese Mudejar Art declared a World Heritage Site.
In the Goya Museum you will be able to better understand the life and history of Goya, which is closely linked to Saragossa and the Basilica del Pilar. In addition, it is the only place in the world where the complete collection of engravings is permanently exhibited.
The Aljafería Palace is the best-preserved example of the palaces from the Taifa era and the one that is located further North in Europe. It is a magnificent testimony to the history and culture of the Aragon region. Furthermore, this impressive building has witnessed several centuries of historical events and has been home to various political powers over the years. It is an essential part of the city, although it is a bit far from the city centre. If you wish to visit, you will need to make a reservation in advance.
Don’t leave Zaragoza without taking a walk around the Old Town, passing through the Arch and the House of the Dean, visiting the Central Market, seeing the Roman Walls and enjoying the magical sunsets from the Stone Bridge and the San Lázaro Balcony – where it is worth taking a perfect selfie with the river on the background.
