Zaragoza is a pinnacle location in the Ebro Valley, home to Spain's most water-rich river, and is strategically situated between Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia, and Toulouse. Zaragoza is one of Spain's most historically significant cities, with a history dating back 2000 years. Its heritage is a blend of Old-Iberian, Roman, Gothic, and Muslim influences. Today, the city is economically thriving, hosting several major international fairs and boasting a lively music scene. The Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar is the city's main religious site, with its 11 domes defining the city's skyline with their vibrant tiles. It is the second most popular pilgrimage site in Spain, following the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Inside, the dome's wall-paintings, created by Goya and Bayeau, are particularly noteworthy. The church's museum houses a vast collection, primarily of religious art. The view of Zaragoza's Cathedral from the river is one of the city's most picturesque sights, especially at night, making it an ideal spot for a stroll or a romantic outing. The Palacio de la Aljaferia, an 11th-century king's palace adorned with intricate decorations, including gold ceilings, is one of the few remaining Moorish structures in the city.
