What you can expect

  • Zaragoza has a strange quirk: 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 all about it 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 join us on a visit to a monument designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Mudéjar architecture, but the Seo has much more than that. With a spectacular mix of styles both outside and inside, La Seo is an impressive testament to the great political power of Aragon.
    And since it has been located on a sacred site for over 2,000 years, it holds countless incredibly fascinating stories. Did you know that it was a mosque-cathedral? That there were several 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 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 in both the cathedral and the Aljafería Palace during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, as well as in the Archbishop's Palace. Now they are housed in the museum so that we can admire them as they deserve.
    As you can see, the Cathedral of the Savior is one surprise after another.
    Will you come and see it with us?
