About the Item

The print on sale is a historical map of the province of Zaragoza, Spain, dated 1901. The title on the map is "ZARAGOZA. 1901." This map details the geographical features of Zaragoza with contour lines and color gradations to indicate elevation, as well as highlighting rivers, roads, and rail networks. The provincial capital, Zaragoza city, is prominently marked. Symbols used on the map include those for provincial capitals, towns, churches, ruins, lighthouses, and more, with a legend ("Signos Convencionales") explaining these symbols. Zaragoza is known for: 1. **Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar**: One of the most famous Marian sanctuaries in the Catholic world, which according to tradition, was visited by the Virgin Mary. 2. **Mudejar Architecture**: Zaragoza has numerous examples of Mudejar architecture, a style that is a blend of Christian and Moorish design, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 3. **Fiestas del Pilar**: A major festival in honor of the Virgin del Pilar, featuring religious processions, concerts, and exhibitions. 4. **Location**: It is situated on the banks of the Ebro River and has historically been a crossroads between Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Bilbao. 5. **Gastronomy**: The region's cuisine is known for its variety and richness, influenced by the Ebro Valley and Aragonese culinary traditions. 6. **La Lonja**: A Renaissance building of significant historical importance in the city, used for commercial exchanges during the 16th century. 7. **Roman Heritage**: Zaragoza was founded as the Roman city of Caesaraugusta, and remnants of its Roman walls and forum can still be seen. 8. **The Palace of Aljafería**: An 11th-century Moorish castle, which later became the residence of the Kings of Aragon, and is now home to the Aragonese parliament.
