Amazing building, cool exhibits
La Lonja is a Renaissance-style buildling of epic proportions wedged between the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar and the La Seo Cathedral in Zaragoza's historic district. It was built in the 15th century as a marketplace of sorts, but it's currently used as an exhibition gallery that hosts photo exhibits, art, sculpture, and more.
I was really impressed by the massive columns and arched ceiling; it gives an incredible sensation of space and grandeur...you can't help but feel a bit awe-struck.
The exhibits are almost always free to make sure to check it out if you're in the area. Even if you're not interested in the exhibit itself (lucky for me, I was there for a cool travel photography exhibit), it's worth a walk to enjoy the monumental silence, massive columns, and epic ceiling.
