Plaza Aragon is always full of people, as it is a connection point to other parts of the city and also a widely used tram stop. Still, even with all the people going back and forth, every single time that I go this monument stands out, as it is a tribute to the Justicia de Aragón, a historical figure around this region that is familiar to what is called an ombudsman.
As simple as it may seem, this monument is something that invites you to get to know more of Zaragoza and the history of those who have dedicated themselves to work for the city and its people.
Well, Aragon at first refers to the Kingdom of Aragon, which united with Castille to form Spain, by that time it controlled the eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula and southern Italy.
Nowadays, there’s the Autonomous Community of Aragon, like some sort of governorship, from which Zaragoza is part of.
So yeah, there are a lot of references to Aragon around southern Europe and most probably in the Americas as well.
