Its urban expansion began following its foundation as a Roman settlement between the years 19 to 15 B.C. when it received the name of Cesarauguta, in tribute of its creator, the Emperor Caesar Augustus. The design of the former Roman town has been little changed in the old part of the city, between the rivers Coso and Ebro. In addition, the remains of the Roman walls, sewage system, theatre, paving and splendid mosaics are still preserved and show the huge value this settlement once had.

The narrow lanes surrounding the city's Independence Square is the place to go for fine tapas bars and an informal drinking?
