Arts: From Goya to ETOPIA Zaragoza is a home of artists and a constant focal point for a varied and intense cultural activity. Francisco de Goya is the most well- known Aragonese artist and his work can be seen in places such as El Pilar, La Cartuja de Aula Dei, the Museum of Zaragoza and the Goya Museum-Ibercaja Collection, the artistic centre that houses the most works by Goya after the Prado Museum. Great artists such as Pablo Serrano or Pablo Gargallo also have their own Museum spaces in the city. Nowadays, our creators use the street as a canvas to express their ideas and commit to recuperating forgotten spaces in the city with avant-garde artistic proposals. An example of this cultural offer is the International Festival of Urban Art (ASALTO) which every year inundates the streets of the Old Quarter of Zaragoza with a real mixed bag of ideas. Another new art and culture offer that you must visit in Zaragoza is ETOPIA, which is the Centre for Art and Technology, housing an extensive offer of innovative and up-to-the- minute artistic projects. For another vision of contemporary culture and art, we suggest you visit the Centro de Historias of Zaragoza, a cultural and artistic centre installed in an old restored convent.
