ZARAGOZA
The course will take place in Zaragoza, the capital city of Aragón, in Northern Spain. The city
has a rich history including the Roman presence as evidenced by the ruins of the old Roman
city walls to the beginnings of Christianity in Spain and the Moorish occupation. Students
will have an opportunity to visit the cathedral (La Seo) and the church of Nuestra Señora del
Pilar built upon the site where legend says Mary miraculously appeared. An excursion will
also be taken to the Palacio de la Aljafería, an 11th century Moorish fortress. This building
stands as a reminder that the city was once one of the northern-most seats of the Moorish
taifas or Muslim-ruled principalities during the Middle Ages. Today, Zaragoza is a lively city of
over 600,000 inhabitants and is situated within easy reach of Pamplona, where the running
of the bulls takes place every year; Barcelona; and Madrid.
