Ejea de los Caballeros

Ejea de los Caballeros is a town in Zaragoza Province located in the Cinco Villas region of Aragon. It serves as an administrative hub for the area, with its main offices handling services for the surrounding settlements and countryside.

The town became part of the Kingdom of Aragon in 1105 during the Reconquista, ending Muslim rule in this region. This period shaped its identity and connection to the surrounding areas for centuries to come.

The Santa María de la Corona church displays artwork and sculptures from different eras that tell stories about the people who lived here. Walking through it shows how faith and craftsmanship shaped the community over centuries.

The town is best explored on foot, as its various settlements spread across the landscape with the main hub housing administrative services. Visitors should allow extra time for exploring, since distances between locations can be greater than in typical urban centers.

On January 14, the town celebrates Vote Day, honoring an old custom when people carried a Virgin of the Olive statue through the streets. This festival keeps a centuries-old tradition alive, bringing residents together in a way that reflects local history.
