About this tour
This session traces what survives of Zaragoza's Roman walls, from a fragment near the Ebro to a later Moorish watchtower built partly on Roman foundations. You see how directly one era's building sits on top of another here. Javier connects this walk back to his longer Aljafería session for a fuller picture of the city's layered history.
The walk moves between the two points at a steady pace, with Javier explaining what is genuinely Roman and what was added or reused later. He answers questions about Caesaraugusta's founding as they come up.
This suits anyone interested in how a city's earliest layers survive into its present streets. It also works well as a shorter companion to Javier's Aljafería session.
Included

Wall fragment near the river 15 min
The camera looks at a surviving stretch of the Roman city wall of Caesaraugusta, close to the Ebro where the original settlement was founded.

Torreón de la Zuda 15 min
A later Moorish-era watchtower stands nearby, built using some of the same Roman foundations, and I explain how each layer of the city built directly on top of the last.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Zaragoza: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Borraja con patatas and Arrabal, worth a slower look.
