Tarazona

Tarazona stands on the Queiles near the meeting of Aragon, Navarre and Castile. Its cathedral of Santa María de la Huerta began in the thirteenth century, adopting the forms of French Gothic architecture. Damage during the War of the Two Peters prompted rebuilding with Mudéjar craftsmanship; a later Renaissance transformation added another layer to a church shaped by the city’s position on the frontier of kingdoms.
