Guided tour of the Aljafería Palace, Saragozza

“O Alcazar of joy! Oh golden hall!

With you I fulfilled my longings.

If in my kingdom only that had,

Nothing else I would miss.”

This is how Al-Muqtádir, king of the taifa of Saraqusta, described his newly built recreational home, the Aljafería Palace.

Since it was built in the s. IX, has had different owners and uses as a palace of the Catholic Monarchs, court and jail of the Holy Office or military barracks, until today as the seat of the Courts of Aragon.

This palace is an indispensable part of Spanish-Muslim art and is declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site within the “Mudejar Architecture of Aragon” complex.

In this visit we will see all the rooms open to the public and we will immerse ourselves in them thanks to digital recreations, photographs, sounds and smells that will transport us over the centuries.

Discover its long and complex history and by extension that of Aragon in the most complete visit to this monument.
