Don Pedro de Luna Palace

Zaragoza blossomed in the 16th century. This striking palace is an example of the power of the nobility. It is also called Condes de Morata Palace and was built on the Roman wall. The front entrance, with its rounded arch and beautiful decorations is of especial interest, flanked by two figures of giants representing Hercules and Teseo.

In its interior there is a monumental patio which has ceramic tiles as a part of the decoration. The most famous member of the Luna family was Pedro de Luna, the last Pope of Avignon during the Christian schism, with the name Benedict the 13th.
Today the Palace houses the city High Court.
