The Aljafería Palace was built in the second half of the eleventh century. Its importance lies in the fact that it is the only surviving testimony to a large building of Spanish-Islamic art from the time of the Taifas. After the reconquest of Zaragoza in 1118 by Alfonso I the Warrior, it became the residence of the Christian kings of Aragon. It is now used as the seat of the regional parliament of Aragon.

It was a recreational residence of the Muslim kings and reflects the splendor achieved by the Taifa kingdom at its highest political and cultural peak. It has been a fortified enclosure, Aragonese royal residence, headquarters and prison of the Inquisition, palace of the Catholic Monarchs, barracks and, since 1987, the brand new headquarters of the Cortes of Aragon.
