Pilar Square

Pilar Square is located in Zaragoza, Spain. The square is also called the Cathedral Square, since it has two cathedrals: the Blessed Virgin Pilar and the Cathedral of the Savior. The first mention of this area belongs to the XVI century. A few centuries earlier, the main Saragosian cemetery was located here.

The square took its present appearance after expansion in 1939. Before that, it was expanded and dealt with in 1647 and 1717.

In addition to the cathedrals, on the square you can still see such attractions as the Fountain of Fuente de la Spanidad, which depicts a map of Latin America, the monument to Francisco de Goya, consisting of three figures: Goya himself, as well as two Mach, which immediately makes you remember the paintings of this great artist - "Maja dressed" and "Maja naked." Not far from the exchange is the artist’s cenotaph.
