Basilica del Pilar Tour
Tour Overview
Discover the Basilica del Pilar, the soul of Zaragoza
It is said that even the Ebro River is silent when passing by this majestic temple. The Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pilar is one of the oldest places of Marian devotion in the world and the great symbol of Zaragoza.
In this tour you will learn about its history, from the first Christians in Roman Hispania to the final works of its towers. Every corner reveals art and faith: Goya's frescoes, the alabaster altarpiece and the imposing organ with more than five thousand pipes that fills the temple with heavenly music.
In the center is the millenary relic of the Pilar de la Virgen, the spiritual heart that gives its name to the sanctuary.
With Paseicos Zaragoza Tours, a young group of local historians and guides, you will discover miracles, legends and hidden details that explain why more than six million people visit this icon of faith, art and history in Spain every year.
