    There is always a good atmosphere around the impressive Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pilar. You cannot pass by this great architectural wonder located next to the Ebro River and in the historic center of Zaragoza.

    Brace yourself for this great baroque cavern of Catholicism. The faithful believe that here on 2 January AD 40, the Virgin Mary appeared to Santiago (St James the Apostle) atop a pilar (pillar) of jasper, and left the pillar behind as a testament to her visit. A chapel was built around the pillar, followed by a series of ever more grandiose churches, culminating in the enormous basilica.

    According to an ancient tradition, the basilica was built in the same place where the Virgin appeared to the Apostle Santiago, who was preaching on the banks of the Ebro. Around the column or 'pillar' on which the Virgin leaned, the first chapel was erected in his honor.
