One of my favorite things in Spain! The architecture is beautiful. It's not ornate like a typical Spanish cathedral (which are amazing) or soaring like La Sagrada Familia. It's a home. The ceilings are ornate but everything else is rather plain. The coat of arms that were painted once the Moors left have faded and I prefer the clean white walls anyway. I am unlikely ever to get to Turkey or other previous Ottoman strongholds and this gives you a real taste of the period's architecture. It's not that long of a stop but completely worth it if you're driving from between Madrid and Barcelona.

Very interesting place to visit, definitely worth going. Beautiful Moorish architecture. Information on website not entirely accurate e.g it said there were guided tours in English at specific times but when we asked they said these were only available in the summer. There is an app you can use on your phone which was quite informative though hard to quite follow the lay out of the rooms. Numbers in the rooms didn't always match the ones on the app! Was fascinating to see the regional government chamber which is housed in the palace

Palacio de la Aljafería is a building located in the centre of Zaragoza, the main city in Aragon Region. It is surrounded by a very nice park, from where you can walk, relax and see the building. In fact, nowadays this building is the Aragon Parliament. In the past, it was a Muslim fortress, a Catholic Palace, a military place until it was restored in the middle of the 20th Century. Nowadays, it is possible to visit the inner part of this building and especially, the place, where there is the parliament. Also, you can see Arabesque rooms and gardens, which are very interesting. Also, you can see some places, where there are objects related to the symbols of Aragon Regions. Very interesting.

Palacio de la Aljaferia in Zaragoza is one of the great Moorish/Christian palaces of Spain, along with the Mezquita in Cordoba and the Alhambra in Granada. Of the three, for me, it ranks a close second to the Mezquita in its imposing elegance. It is a moated castle surrounded by a park within walking distance of the centre of Zaragoza. It has served for a thousand years as a Moorish and then a Christian Palace, armory, defensive keep, prison, and otday it is a protected historic monument, a visitor centre and it serves as the location of the Cortes, the Parliament of the Province of Aragon. As you might expect, its architecture illustrates that history, with the most impressive elements being the extensive and beautifully preserved Moorish parts. It was a very pleasant and informative visit on a mid September Sunday, busy but not overcrowded. It is hugely impressive.

The Aljaferia is an impressive piece of Muslim architecture that dates back to the 11th century. The Islamic rulers did it well back then. It now houses the Aragon Regional Parliament which is impressive and of course modern. Worthy of a visit and low cost. It was a short and easy bus ride from the city center.

We were astonished by this place, it is like living inn a fairy tale. The mudejar architecture is absolutely gorgeous, the place has a lot of history in different time periods and there are lots of things to see. The garden, the patios, the halls, the throne rooms. Also very cheap, just 5 euro entrance

Palacio de la Alfajería is located in Zaragoza, not in the center. It was built in the 11th Centurian by Arabs. After, in the 12th Century it was the residence of Catholic Kings. Nowadays, after it was restored, it is the House of Regional Parliament of Aragon. In the visit, you can see the old part of the palace, where there are some rooms Arabian-style, you can learn about the history of the castle and the flag of Aragon and a very nice Arabian terrace. In the new part, you can see the parliament and you learn about the current parliamentarians. Very interesting. In fact, I visited twice this year.

The palice was a 20 minute walk from our hotel. The building was impressive with some beautiful architecture. As I use a wheelchair, we were greated on arrival and shown were all the lifts were and given a private tour. All the other tours we saw were in Spanish. Well worth a visit.
