I have been teaching my city to national and international tourists for years. I like to approach art and history in an entertaining and fun way, without giving up the laughter and supporting the explanations in various images that will help you understand all the possible "Zaragozas": from the Roman Caesar Augusta to the futuristic city created in the 2008 expo. You can't imagine everything you can discover here: goyas, origami, oriental art, river sunsets, contemporary sculpture, and a long etcetera. I would be happy to inform you, at the end of the visit, how you can continue to freely discover the city. For this, I will offer you the necessary tourist information with schedules, addresses and possible tickets for all monuments, museums, and places of interest. I am an official guide of Aragon, Art Historian and I do my work in Spanish, English, French and Italian.
The exterior of the Seo del Salvador does not allow one to guess its magnificent interior: the best religious building of the 16th century in Zaragoza. Which, after a very long restoration, recovered the brilliance of its beginnings.
We will begin by sitting in front of the main altar to delight ourselves with one of the best European Gothic altarpieces, built in polychrome alabaster.
We will continue the visit explaining the interiors of the very rich Renaissance chapels and we will be surprised by the most theatrical baroque. We will not get bored because the Seo de Zaragoza is full of "gruesome" stories : miraculous skulls, murders and broken hearts ...
Later we will continue the visit around the building, to understand why it has always been the sacred place of the city and its eternal competition with the Basilica del Pilar. We will see how the mosque was transformed into a Christian temple; the Romanesque gave way to the Mudejar and the minaret metamorphosed into a baroque bell tower. A walk through the alleys that surround the temple will help us understand how all the medieval Zaragozas were : the Christian, the Muslim and the Jewish.
The Cathedral charges entrance: the general rate is € 3 for groups accompanied by an official guide.
White facade of La Seo (Cathedral of El Salvador) I will carry my identification as official guide of Aragon, with my name CARMEN NAVALES
