Located on the banks of 3 rivers: Ebro, Huerva, Gállego and also by the Imperial Canal of Aragon.
With more than 2000 years of existence, its current name comes from the ancient Roman Caesaraugusta who received in honor of Emperor Caesar Augustus in the 14th century BC.
The city holds the titles of Very Noble, Very Loyal, Very Heroic, Very Beneficial, Always Heroic and Immortal, granted mostly after its resistance against the Napoleonic army in the Sites of Zaragoza during the War of Independence.
Easily accessible through its airport and train lines, Zaragoza contains all the splendor of several cultures settled for many centuries. From the original Iberian Salduie, through the Roman Caesaraugusta, Saraqusta Arab and the current Zaragoza.
Being a bimillenary city through which practically all the civilizations that have dominated the Iberian Peninsula have passed, their vestiges of past times are carefully preserved, so it is a real pleasure to visit the city, to dazzle with its history and tradition , while falling in love with the capital of Aragon, modern and very well organized.
