The fact of being a border city between regions and kingdoms has marked the history of one of the most suffered but at the same time beautiful cities in Aragon. At this point we find ourselves at the Lower Gate that welcomes us to the city through which we can tour its walls, built at different times, up to the old castle from which we can enjoy an impressive panoramic view of Daroca.

Place to stop and enjoy one of the most unique cities in the province of Zaragoza. In this place, there is the possibility of receiving guided tours through the Mudéjar Territory project that tries to value this art that is so important for the area. From the part of the Jewish city, its stately homes to the panoramic views that are in the surroundings, without a doubt, it is a place that is worth at least spending a day enjoying the culture and gastronomy.

If you cross the imposing city gate with its mighty walls on the way to Daroca, you will quickly feel like you have been transported to another era. If you want to learn the secrets of the city, it's best to wander around a bit. It doesn't take long and you lose yourself in the many small alleys, courtyards and different corners. Everywhere you can find witnesses of the city's former Islamic past - be it the deliciously fragrant oriental smells from the rustic restaurants or architectural relics from the Mudéjar period - Daroca will know how to enchant you.
