Zaragoza in itself is truly a very memorable city but what makes the place more unforgettable is this Basilica. I may have not seen the grand Catholic churches in the world but I believe that this would be indeed one of the best churches in the world. Locked in history and spirituality, the Basilica del Pilar is truly a must see in order to admire and experience this work of art founded and built with faith!

Magnificent view, they have super big Catedral. It's better to walking around here on morning or afternoon.. It's more crowded at night. You can have a cup of coffee in here and enjoy the view.. nice place 👍

Of course something not to be missed if in Zaragoza! ! Good the inside can be visited for free!
Tickets are needed for the tower in advance, otherwise it will be sold out

It is a jewel of baroque art. It was built between the 17th and 18th centuries. Inside, the Holy Chapel, a work by Ventura Rodríguez, which holds the image of the Virgen del Pilar, deserves special attention. The main altarpiece, made of alabaster, and the Renaissance choir are also interesting. Along with the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, the Basílica del Pilar is one of the most important spiritual destinations in Spain. It is also a first-rate artistic center that brings together works of great value from different eras. Special emphasis on the frescoes painted by Goya on the bandstand and the dome

Simply elegant and beautiful cathedral, amazing architecture and awe inspiring grandeur. Really enjoyed my tour and cannot wait to return to visit again.

An authentic architectural jewel, well preserved, very clean, impressive and magnificent. The history behind it just makes this place a must go if you're coming to Zaragoza, even a reason to visit Zaragoza if it wasn't in your plans.

Day or night, it is a wonderful sight. Im no fan of the baroque style but it isn't at all tacky. It's also free to enter unlike other great cathedrals on this planet. Interestingly, the two towers on the right were only finished in the 1970's. The fresco you can see is from Goya. Impressive square in front.

Spectacular basilica to view inside and out. No talking or taking pictures inside allowed. There was a service in progress when our tour group entered.
