The Basílica del Pilar soon fills the skyline with domes and towers above the Ebro. Riddles find the Goya frescoes and the two unexploded bombs still on display.
At the Plaza del Justicia, trivia recalls the Justicia de Aragón, the medieval office that dared to check the power of kings.
Then the Catedral del Salvador — La Seo — closes the circuit, a single cathedral wearing Romanesque, Gothic, Mudéjar and baroque all at once.
