Historical monuments, waterfalls and forests, a city of Spanish cultural heritage

Historical monuments, waterfalls and forests, this city of Spanish cultural heritage is only one hour away from Zaragoza by train! Calatayud, a small town carved by time, lies quietly among the valleys of Aragon, witnessing the changes of history and the integration of cultures. This is the heart of Spanish Mudéjar art - the intersection of Islamic architectural techniques and Christian aesthetics, giving birth to unique brick carvings, towers and arches. The city’s landmarks such as the Church of Santa María (Colegiata de Santa María) and the Church and Tower of San Pedro (La iglesia y torre de San Pedro de los Francos) are all outstanding representatives of this architectural style. For this reason, the buildings here have been listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Not far from the city lies the picturesque stone monastery (Monasterio de Piedra). The monastery ruins and the beautiful scenery of waterfalls and forests are intertwined, creating a secret place where nature and humanity blend perfectly.
