About Zaragoza
The city on the Ebro river was founded at the turn of the millennium by the Roman Emperor Augustus, and named after him asCaesaraugusta. 2,000 years later, the architectural remains of large public buildings indicate Caesar Augustus’ influence over the city. Today you can still admire the city’s Forum, Thermal Baths, the River Port or the Great Theatre, archeological remains which reflect the splendour of the city as it was during theRoman Empire. It was on the banks of the river Ebro that Saint James (calledSantiagoin Spanish) reportedly saw the apparition of Virgin Mary on the pillar, which is seen as the pivotal moment in the foundation of the Spanish Christian heritage. After the fall of the empire, the city and the rest of today's Spain, was conquered by theGothsand then by the Moors.
