Aljafería

The Aljafería Palace features wide defensive walls, multiple semicircular towers, and combines Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.

Built in the 11th century as a residence for Muslim kings, the palace later served as an Aragonese royal residence and headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition.

The palace contains the Troubadour Tower, Marble Hall, and intricate Islamic decorations, representing the fusion of Muslim and Christian artistic traditions in Spain.

Visitors can access the palace daily from 16:30 to 20:00, with an entrance fee of 5 euros and free admission on the first Sunday of each month.

The structure houses three distinct palaces within its walls: the Taifal Palace of Al-Muqtadir, the Palace of Peter IV, and the Palace of the Catholic Monarchs.
