Tarazona, Medieval municipality in Zaragoza Province, Spain.
Tarazona is a municipality in Zaragoza Province, Spain, set on a hill beside the Queiles River. Houses climb in terraces, while the central plaza is surrounded by arcades and facades from the 16th century.
The settlement began during Roman times and later became an important center under Muslim rule in the Middle Ages. After Christian reconquest in the 12th century, it grew as a bishopric and trading center.
The name comes from the Arabic word Tarazona, which appears in the old quarters with their brick patterns and narrow lanes. On market days, locals gather in small squares to buy vegetables and cheese from nearby farms.
A walk through the upper streets offers views over the valley and leads to small churches and squares. Some neighborhoods have steep staircases, so comfortable shoes are a good idea.
In the old town, houses with balconies rest on Roman foundations and are still lived in today. An old city gate shows inscriptions from three different periods side by side.
