History
The Plaza of Our Lady of the Pillar is one of the busiest popular places in Zaragoza, Spain. In it is the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, where the homonymous Marian invocation is venerated. It is known by the nickname of "El salón de la ciudad", since many public parties are held there. Plaza del Pilar is the largest pedestrian plaza in the European Union and the second largest on the continent only behind Red Square in Moscow. It is also called Plaza de las Catedrales, because it has the two cathedrals of Zaragoza: the Seo and the Pilar. It is the only one in Spain with two cathedrals in the same square. In this plaza are, in addition to the Basilica del Pilar, buildings such as the city hall, the Fountain of Hispanicity, the Cathedral of El Salvador (La Seo) and a monument to Goya.
