Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Pilar: This Roman Catholic church cannot be missed while visiting Zaragoza and its hard to miss, right on the riverside. This Baroque church was built between 1681 and 1872 and features paintings by Goya and Bayaeu on the ceilings.
Museo Pablo Serrano: For art fanatics, this contemporary art museum is a must. The collection includes sculptures, paintings, video installations and even studios for young artists.
Roman ruins: Zaragoza was a major city in Roman times and you can see remnants of that all over the place, starting with the Caesar Augustus statue in the city centre. There’s also a Roman theatre there.
