Guided tour of the Aljafería Palace
Description
“O Alcazar of joy! Oh golden hall! With you I fulfilled my longings. If in my kingdom only that had, Nothing else I would miss.” This is how Al-Muqtádir, king of the taifa of Saraqusta, described his newly built recreational home, the Aljafería Palace. Since it was built in the s. IX, has had different owners and uses as a palace of the Catholic Monarchs, court and jail of the Holy Office or military barracks, until today as the seat of the Courts of Aragon. This palace is an indispensable part of Spanish-Muslim art and is declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site within the “Mudejar Architecture of Aragon” complex. In this visit we will see all the rooms open to the public and we will immerse ourselves in them thanks to digital recreations, photographs, sounds and smells that will transport us over the centuries. Discover its long and complex history and by extension that of Aragon in the most complete visit to this monument.

If a competent person gives you an explanation about a monument, you stop seeing just a building and see a piece of history.
Muchas gracias por tu reseña, la Aljafería es un monumento que hay que vivir.
We loved the visit. And Blanca is an excellent guide. Thank you very much!
¡Muchas gracias a vosotros por venir y por dejar la reseña!
Our guide Bianca was extraordinary. The visit on June 14, 2026, at 10:45 AM was excellent. Highly recommended.
Muchísimas gracias por la reseña, seguimos trabajando para ofrecer los mejores servicios.
Wow! Blanca was absolutely amazing! We took her tour of the Aljafería Palace, and it was hands down one of the best tours we have ever experienced. Her passion for the history of the palace, combined with her incredible knowledge and engaging storytelling, made every moment fascinating. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and that enthusiasm makes the tour unforgettable. The palace itself does not disappoint—it is stunning, full of history, beautiful architecture, and details that you would never fully appreciate without a guide like Blanca bringing them to life. If you're visiting Zaragoza, this is the tour company to book. You will not be disappointed. Between Blanca's exceptional guiding and the beauty of the Aljafería Palace, this was truly a five-star experience and one of the highlights of our trip!

A great experience with Blanca: knowledge and rigor, explained in an enjoyable way, making the two hours fly by during the visit. A great choice, highly recommendable
Muchísimas gracias por tu reseña y por la recomendación.
We did a free tour with Blanca through Civitatis called "Free tour of the mysteries and legends of Zaragoza". Blanca not only explains the story and gives you the data, she tells it in an immersive and enjoyable way, which makes the time you spend walking around Zaragoza spend in a sigh (Despite the Certainty hehe). We liked it so much that we booked with her for the next day and through her page the tour of the Alfajeria Palace, and as expected it was another success. Super recommended this guided tour company and highlight Blanca and her way of telling the story. No doubt if we return to Zaragoza we will repeat with them.
We had a fantastic guided tour of the Aljafería Palace in Zaragoza. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable but, more importantly, made the entire experience fun and engaging from start to finish. They brought the history to life with great storytelling and even found creative ways to keep our 4-year-old entertained and involved, which made a huge difference for our family. It was the perfect balance of informative and enjoyable—highly recommended!
Fabulous visit. Blanca is a great guide.
Simply magnificent. Very interesting and very pleasant. Our White guide left us a pleasant experience.
