Zaragoza, the capital of Aragon, has all the attractions of a modern, populous city with excellent avenues, such as that of Independencia, Sagasta, Gran Via and squares, such as that of Paraiso, Los Sitios... The Zaragoza's appeal lies in the fact that it has been left relatively untouched by tourism: most travelers know it only as a station on the way from Barcelona to Madrid. Those who take the time to get off the train are rarely disappointed. The old town is full of authentic Spanish restaurants, and Aragon cooking is superb.
Attractions include the Aljaferia castle, the Roman Forum and Theatre of ancient Caesaraugusta, and the Pilar, one of the most famous sanctuaries of the Virgin Mary in the world. Other important sights are the old Cathedral, La Seo, a magnificient 14th century church. Especially interesting are the estately houses and magnificient palaces in the city.
