La Lonja de Zaragoza
Lonja de Zaragoza
A 16th-century Renaissance commodity exchange, whose tall colonnaded halls now serve as a municipal exhibition venue.
The exchange was built between 1541 and 1551 on Plaza del Pilar, between the cathedral and the City Hall. It is a representative example of Aragonese Renaissance civic architecture. Inside is a tall three-aisled hall, where spiral-fluted columns support star-shaped ribbed vaults, and the ceiling is decorated with coats of arms and small angels. It currently serves as a temporary exhibition venue for the city of Zaragoza. It is free to enter when an exhibition is on. Without an exhibition, you can only view the exterior.
Opening hours
When exhibitions are on: Tuesday-Saturday about 10:00-14:00, 17:00-21:00
