Tour and history of the Historic Center of Zaragoza and currency exchange
Zaragoza has ceased to be a passing city, to become a city visited and admired by travelers and tourists, who are surprised to discover a place with multiple attractions of art, gastronomy, history and a lot of life.
The Historic Quarter or "Old Town", as it is popularly known, is not only the network of streets near the Basilica del Pilar, but also includes the urban space delimited by the medieval fence, and which is currently surrounded by the Coso street. The city had twelve gates that adorned the city with its walls. Today only the door of Carmen remains.
The following neighborhoods are housed inside: El Gancho, San Miguel, Tenerías and La Magdalena.
The Decumano was a main road in Roman times and is the origin of Don Jaime I Street. In the 19th century, Alfonso Street was built to give access to El Pilar.
Interculturality is a characteristic of the population that resides in the Old Town.
Walking through the streets of the historic center is to travel back in time to other times and discover that in many corners time seems to have stopped. We enter small squares and narrow streets that show us the essence of Zaragoza: El Pilar, Goya, the Roman past and the friendliness of its people.
And in the narrowness of its streets we also find small shops with their particular charm, restaurants and tapas bars where we can taste the lamb, products from the garden or a good glass of wine.
You can not stop walking these streets to discover in its stones the traces of the civilizations that have occupied it: Roman, Muslim, Jewish or Christian. And listen to its people, who will tell you beautiful memories like the one from the New Tower. A tower located in the Plaza de San Felipe, 80 meters high and which was used to notify the newly created Fire Department of the neighborhood in which a fire was taking place due to the number of chimes:
A chime, when it happened in the Seo neighborhood
Four chimes, if it was in the neighborhood of San Miguel
Eleven chimes indicated that the fire was located in Santa Engracia.
In 1883 the tower was destroyed due to the risk of falling.
