Other Monuments Aljafer\u00eda Palace \u2013 is an 11th century Arab palace located in the center of Zaragoza.

The plan of this palace is a quadrangle and there are round towers except for Troubadour's Tower which is rectangular. The courtyard is open to the skies and the rooms are around the courtyard. You will find that the roofs, plastering decoration and coffered ceilings are extremely charming. At present it is used as the Aragonese Parliament\u2019s headquarters. Zaragoza Market \u2013 is a 16th century market of the Renaissance period and is an ideal place for trading. This was constructed based on the design of architect Juan de Sari\u00f1ena on orders from Hernando de Arag\u00f3n.

This was a brick construction and has a rectangular plan. Santa Engracia Church \u2013 is a 16th century church of Renaissance period and houses the tombs of Paleochristians.
