Zaragoza province is situated on the cross-roads which lead from the Mediterranean and head towards the Spanish Meseta and is surrounded by the high provinces of the Spanish meseta.
Zaragoza is the only city in the Iberian Peninsula to have enjoyed the privilege of being called by the entire name of its Roman founder Caesar Augustus. The city was established in the first century A.D. over the ruins of the old Iberian town of Salduie.
