Escolapios School and Santo Tomas de Aquino Church

This ancient Zaragoza school was founded in 1733 and both it and the church were built through the generosity of the Archbishop.
It is a baroque building that dates back to 1740 and has a large tri-partite façade flanked by two towers and only one nave inside. In the 70s Avenida Cesar Augustus was built and it was then possible to see the whole church. In the 19th-20th centuries the school was renovated, so only the church and one cloister are original. The most famous pupil in this school was undoubtedly the painter Goya.

Admission: free
Mass: 12.30pm Sunday
