The old church of San Miguel located in the town of Borja (province of Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain) is one of the buildings of greatest artistic and historical interest located in Borja.
Since its Romanesque origins, it has undergone numerous transformations that have modified its primitive appearance, until reaching its current use as a cultural facility as the headquarters of the permanent exhibition of the town's Archaeological Museum.
The foundation of the monastery of Santa María de Veruela is linked to the desire of García Ramirez de Pamplona, the Restorer, (1134-50) to repopulate this territory.
The Cathedral of Tarazona is one of the most characteristic constructions of the Gothic and Mudejar style in the country. Its construction began in the 11th century and was consecrated in 1232. In the 14th century, it was destroyed during the War of the Two Peters (1356-1375). Its bays were rebuilt in the Mudejar style, as were the side chapels, the exterior walls, the dome and the tower.
The origin of its construction dates back to the end of the 12th century, a period from which only the three Romanesque apses built in ashlar stone and the base of the tower located at the foot of the Epistle side remain. This tower was enlarged in brick on two occasions, first at the end of the 15th century in the Mudejar style and then at the beginning of the 17th century in the Mannerist style.
