🇪🇸 Zaragoza Day Trip: Where History Collides
As Spain's 4th largest city, Zaragoza stands as a living testament to centuries of conquests - where Romans, Moors, and Christians all left their mark. 🏰 Must-See Wonders Aljafería Palace The last remaining Moorish royal palace in Spain. Though only stone walls, carvings and tiles survive, its Islamic soul shines through. Basilica del Pilar ⛪ The most architecturally chaotic church I've ever seen: • Begun in 1681 (Baroque) • Gained Arabic domes in 1700s • Hidden inner chapel with golden shrines • Goya's early frescoes on side domes • Baffling octagonal ironwork floor designs Puente de Piedra 🌉 The 15th-century stone bridge offers perfect silhouette shots of the basilica at sunset. 🚆 Transport Tips • Fare alert: €10 train tickets gone after July 2025 • Paid €22 one-way (book early for deals) • From Zaragoza-Delicias station, take buses to all sights #WorldHeritage #SpainTravel #HiddenEurope #CulturalCrossroads #Zaragoza 🇪🇸✨
