“O castle of joy! Oh golden hall!
With you I fulfilled my desires.
If in my kingdom I had only that,
Nothing else I would miss.”
This is how Abu Jaáfar al-Muqtádir, king of the Saraqusta taifa, described his newly built recreational residence, the Aljafería Palace.
Since it was built in the s. IX, it has had different owners and uses such as the palace of the Catholic Monarchs, the court and prison of the Holy Office or military barracks, until the current one as the headquarters of the Cortes of Aragon.
This palace is considered an indispensable piece of Hispano-Muslim art and is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the “Mudejar Architecture of Aragon” complex.
On this visit we will see all the rooms open to the public, the exteriors and the current plenary session of the Cortes of Aragon and we will immerse ourselves in them thanks to digital recreations, models, photographs and also sounds and smells that will transport us throughout the centuries.
Discover its long and complex history and, by extension, that of Aragon in the most complete visit that exists to this monument. Without lines, in small groups and with guaranteed tickets!
