Visit four sites to retrace the footsteps and discover the works of this great artist. This themed tour of the city begins with a visit to this immense Baroque temple, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pilar, where you can admire the impressive frescoes painted by Goya. The next stop is the Goya Museum, just a few steps away in a majestic Renaissance palace, famous for its magnificent collection of engravings and paintings by the artist. Follow in Goya's footsteps by visiting the Diocesan Museum and the Zaragoza Museum, which has an entire room dedicated to him. Round off your tour with a visit to the Cartuja de Aula Dei, in the rural district of Peñaflor, a Gothic monument containing splendid murals by the artist.
The Expo 2008 site is not far from the historic centre, and you can get there after a pleasant stroll along the Ebro, whose banks were completely renewed for the event. Fantastic works of contemporary architecture await you on the Expo site, including the Bridge Pavilion, the Water Tower, the Convention Centre and Europe's largest river aquarium. We recommend continuing your visit at the Luis Buñuel Water Park, located right next to Expo, a new urban park concept combining ample green areas, services and fun activities for all ages.
