The appearance of modern Zaragoza began to take shape during the time of the Cordoba Caliphate, when the Moors reigned supreme over almost the entire territory of the Iberian Peninsula. It was during this period that the luxurious Mudekhar architectural style flourished, harmoniously combining Arab and European motifs.
History has left to descendants the magnificent temples of Nuestra Senhora del Pilar and La Seo, the Muslim fortress of Alhaferia, which looks as if it was built in our time, picturesque squares in the historical center of the city. Zaragoza still remembers the presence of the crowned Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, carefully preserves the cultural heritage of the talented Francisco Goya and Pablo Gargaglio, hospitably opening its gates to tourists.
