Zaragoza

Zaragoza is a municipality and city in Spain, capital of the province of the same name and of the autonomous community of Aragon. It is located in the middle of the Ebro valley, on the middle bank of the Ebro, where the Huerva and Gállego rivers flow into it, both of which also cross the city. 

The city of Zaragoza has a rich and ancient history dating back to Roman times, when it was founded as Caesaraugusta in honour of Emperor Augustus. Over the centuries, it has been a crossroads of cultures: Roman, Visigoth, Islamic and Christian. During Muslim rule, it was an important Taifa kingdom, and after the Christian conquest in the 12th century, it became a key city in the Kingdom of Aragon. It played a crucial role in the War of Independence against Napoleon, notably during the heroic Sieges of Zaragoza.

Today, Zaragoza is a modern city constantly evolving, and there are stark contrasts and surprises on every corner, from its ancient history to the more modern, avant-garde parts of the city. Historical monuments and buildings, like the Basilica del Pilar,  La Seo or the Aljafería Palace sit alongside contemporary buildings such as the Pabellón Puente, the Water Tower, the Palacio de Congresos (venue of our meeting), the IAACC or the CaixaForum.
