Calatayud, Provincial municipality in Zaragoza, Spain
Calatayud sits at 530 meters elevation along the Jalón River, surrounded by the Sistema Ibérico mountain range in northeastern Spain.
The Romans established Augusta Bilbilis near present-day Calatayud, which later became a Moorish fortress named Qal'at Ayyub in 716 CE.
The municipality contains multiple examples of Mudéjar architecture, including the bell tower of Santa María church built on a former mosque site.
The municipality functions as an administrative center with two industrial estates, focusing on agriculture production and service sector activities.
Archaeological excavations near Calatayud revealed the birthplace of Roman poet Martial, who wrote numerous epigrams during the first century.
