Zaragoza has a strange distinction: it's the only city in the Catholic world with two active cathedrals. But the million-dollar question is why? Don't worry, we'll tell you everything on this sightseeing tour!
Welcome to the Cathedral of the Savior, or as we call it here, La Seo de Zaragoza!
We invite you to visit with us a monument designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Mudéjar architecture, but La Seo has much more than that. With a spectacular mix of styles both outside and inside, La Seo is an impressive display of the great political power of Aragon.
And since it has been located in a sacred place for more than 2,000 years, it holds countless tremendously fascinating stories. Did you know that it was a mosque-cathedral? That there were multiple archbishops who were royal bastards? And that it was the scene of a murder? We'll tell you all this and much more!
And of course, we can't forget one of the city's little gems: its tapestry museum, considered one of the best in the world for its sensational collection of Flemish tapestries from the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. These tapestries, acquired by kings and archbishops, were hung both in the cathedral and in the Aljaferia Palace in the time of the Catholic Monarchs, and in the Archbishop's Palace. Now they rest in the museum so that they can be admired as they deserve.
As you can see, the Cathedral of the Saviour is one surprise after another.
