Within the town, you must see the brick church, Santa Maria la Mayor. Nearby on Calle Datao is a leaning tower called Iglesia de San Pedro de los Francos, a fine example of Mudejar styles. Take a walk along Calle Union to see an elegant Mudejar belfry called La Parraguia de San Andres. To get panoramic views of the area, walk through the path of the Moorish quarter to the castle ruins.

Just east of Calatayud there are excavations continuing on the Roman city of Bilbilis. Here was the birthplace of Roman satirist Martial. It can be seen from the Merida-Zaragoza highway.

Calatayud is located 85km west of Zaragoza, in the region of Aragon.
