A lovey place with amazing architecture. I really enjoyed it, but fazed out toward the end of looking around as everything all began to look the same in the heat! It was a lovely attraction to visit though, with many hidden little rooms, I kept on walking past side rooms that had artifacts or information behind glass. Again this place... More

We were very lucky to arrive just as it was opening for the afternoon at 16:30 (siesta 13:30-16:30). As pensioners it was just 1 euro a head. It would have been well worth it at full price (3 euro a head). If you like Moorish designs then you will like this.

Different architecture styles, from moors ruling times to Isabel and Fernando united Spanish kingdom. It changed from an Alcazar (Moorish fortress) to king’s palace. Part of the building houses the Regional Parliament of Aragón, an example of new uses given to this huge palace.

The horseshoe arches and intricate geometric adornments in the Moorish courtyard of this 11th C. palace are well preserved, and give a hint of Arabic elegance. So much was destroyed at the Christian reconquest, so it's like a miracle to see all this so far north in Spain.

Free entry on Sunday morning - which is when we went. Not sure I'd have wanted to pay the entry fee for this having been to the Mezquita in Cordoba, the Alhambra in Granada and mosques in Samarkand and Bukhara.

The building itself wasn't open for visiting, but the view of the outside is breathtaking! Traditional Arabic entrance and architecture, nice for a little photo op after seeing the plaza de toros which is right around the corner.

IT IS REALLY SO, you can walk through the centuries in Aljaferia. The other name of the place is Cortes de Aragon. You can guess by these names that it used to be a Muslim palace, then a Christian castle and afterwards Aragon Kings Palace. You will admire all three hypostasis there.

It really is beautiful a true castle...but it was closed and we could not go in. Suggest you find out the schedule as we missed going inside, it was difficult to find out their schedule, there were a bunch of tourists gathered all trying to figure it out. The instructions were complicated, so ask a concierge at the hotel. But... More

Is a XI Century Palace with some changes tru the centuries, was built by islamics but after was conquered by Christians, so you can find a mixture of styles! I loved the decoration, a lot was destroyed, but made the effort of restore some parts. I suggest a visit!
