On our final day in Zaragoza, we stumbled upon this monastery and the tour was quite nice. The monastery belongs to the Convent of Santo Sepulcro, an order which has existed since the 12th century but has inhabited this monastery since its construction in the 15th century.
There is a tour available at 11am and costs 2 euros.
