Quick stop in Zaragoza

Last weekend I planned to visit my friend Merce in Barcelona, so I figured on my way up north, I would stop and see the city Zaragoza (correctly pronounced "THaragoTHa").  It is in between Madrid and Barcelona in the region of Aragon.  It was a quick trip---I was there Thursday night and left on a train for Barcelona at 11:30 the next morning.  It would have been nice to have a little more time, but it was fun exploring the city center!  What I saw was beautiful!


View of the beautiful Basilica de Pilar from Pilar Plaza


Cool map fountain in the square.



Lion statues?  Sure, why not?

I forget the name of this cool art museum...as you can see, it's really unique---trapezoid-shaped and metallic.



Cathedral



There are ancient Roman ruins of a theater in the centro of Zaragoza.
