Visit of the Historic Center of Zaragoza with Javier

A pleasant tour of the historic center of Zaragoza, a city that has been in existence for more than 2,000 years, since it was founded by Emperor César Augusto. Throughout the centuries it was always one of the most important and prosperous cities in the Iberian Peninsula, and was even the capital of two independent kingdoms. It was governed by the sultans of Zaragoza and by the kings of Aragon, who installed their royal court here in 1118.
