Aljafería Palace

It was built as a place of leisure. It also served as a defensive building.

It is an Islamic castle/palace from the 11th century. The remains of its fortified enclosure are still preserved. It is a palace with a quadrangular layout and rounded fortified towers, except for one of them, known as Torreón del Trovador, which has a rectangular shape. The rooms are arranged around the courtyard, which opens to the sky. Its roofs, coffered ceilings and plasterwork decoration are some of its greatest charms. It is currently the seat of the Parliament of Aragon.
