Message from Jaime & Carolina

The Aljafería Palace, located in Zaragoza, Spain, is a medieval fortress that was once the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir. It showcases the grandeur of the Taifa of Zaragoza and is a prime example of Spanish Islamic architecture from the taifas period. 🕌 Today, it houses the regional parliament of Aragon and is known for its mixtilinear arches, arabesque decorations, and historical significance. 🎨 With influences on later art styles, the palace has undergone various transformations over the centuries, serving as a royal residence, military fortress, and even a prison. 🏰 Its rich history and architectural beauty make it a must-visit site for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. 📜✨
