Aljafería Palace
This is Spain's finest
Islamic-era building outside Andalusia. It is still in use! Aragon's regional parliament has been housed
here since 1987. Built as a fortified palace for Zaragoza's Islamic rulers (11th
century.), it underwent later alterations
although it presesrves some of the best examples of Islamic art in Spain: the
delicate interwoven arches of the central courtyard and the octogonal prayer room with its mihrab. This building is also World Heritage.
