Two cities in one
Ejea de los Caballeros has extensive tourist and leisure possibilities. In it, the visitor can enjoy two cities in the same space: the Old City and the City of Water. Two offers of visits that are offered together to show past, present and future to all who come to Ejea de los Caballeros.
Visiting Ejea de los Caballeros is a good opportunity to take a walk through its artistic heritage and all the corners that the beautiful streets of its Historic Center offer us.
On this tour we will contemplate the church of Saint Salvador, from the 13th century, with its two historiated Romanesque façades, made by the Maestro de Agüero’s workshop. Inside, we will be surprised by its main altarpiece from the 15th century, a great jewel in the Spanish-Flemish Gothic style.
Through the streets of this Ancient City we will find civil architecture from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The visitor will perceive the aroma of history in the corners and stones until reaching the 12th century Romanesque church of Saint María, located in the La Corona neighborhood, the historical origin of Ejea de los Caballeros.
The City of Water of Ejea de los Caballeros was born as a project associated with the 2008 Zaragoza International Exposition. In it, the integration of a natural space with another urban one has been based on spatial balance, environmental sustainability and citizen enjoyment. The City of Water revolves around two axes: the Linear Park of the Gancho and the Aquagraria Museum, accompanied by the Fairgrounds.
The Linear Park of the Gancho is a space open to the enjoyment of people. It has numerous features for leisure and recreation: perimeter walkway with walker and bike path, landscaped spaces with rest areas, fishermen’s stalls, jetty for access to rowing and sailing boats, bird observatory and explanatory panels, bar- terrace, playground and park for the elderly and auditorium for 600 people.
Aquagraria is a museum setting where the relationship that Ejea has had with water, agriculture and agrarian mechanization is explained throughout history. On 2,800 m², the most modern technologies are combined with a first-class historical agricultural machinery exhibition. Attached to Aquagraria is the Settlers’ house of El Bayo, an interpretation center where the colonization process and the life of the settlers who arrived in Ejea after the launch of the Canal de las Bardenas in 1959 are explained.
A story written on the stones
It is a journey through the evolution of the historical urbanism of Ejea that has as a common thread the visible remains of the first medieval wall, including sections recently put in value such as the Tower of the Queen or the cloth of the apse of the church of Saint María .
This visit will preferably take place on Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. from the Tourist Office (prior registration), located on Wall Street, in front of the Salvador church.
Gothic
Gothic art in Aragon is the artistic reflection of the birth and expansion of the main power of the western Mediterranean in the late Middle Ages: the Crown of Aragon.
Through this visit we will get to know the main Gothic works that have survived to this day in Ejea de los Caballeros, such as, for example, the magnificent main altarpiece of El Salvador, the church itself, which is an example of transition from Romanesque to Gothic, and two altarpieces in the church of Saint María.
The visit will preferably take place on Thursdays at 6 pm (prior registration) from the tourist office.
