Palacio de la Aljaferia

While being in Zaragoza, I visited The Aljaferia Palace (Palacio de la Aljaferia). A default stop of every tourist of the city.


The Aljafería Palace is a fortified medieval Islamic palace built during the second half of the 11th century.



It has a Moorish style as you can see in the columns.



At some point in time, the palace became the residence of Spanish kings.




Nowadays it currently it houses the Cortes or autonomous community legislative assembly of Aragon


I liked this saloon because of the groin vaults in the construction. The sala was a library museum.
