Foreing consulates in Zaragoza


Foreing consulates in Zaragoza


I hope you always will think you needn't to read this entrance... but better have a glance than ask for it later...


Which consulates can you find in Zaragoza?


These ones. These are countries with a consul in Zaragoza.

And you can find addresses (and sometimes phone numbers too) in this webpage. It is from the Zaragoza municipality so it is expected to be always updated

http://www.zaragoza.es/ciudad/zaragozainternacional/en/consulados.htm

In spite that almost all information is in Spanish, it is quite easy to undersant: name of the consul, country and address


Full list


This is the full list of countries with a consul in Zaragoza. For other countries you will have to go to the nearest one if you require their services (and considering the distance to nearest big cities, it will be faster to go to Madrid where you will find the general embassy).

Take a look in your country's foreing affairs ministry about services they can offer to you.

San Antonio church tower.


San Antonio church tower.


In the 1940s the Italian government built a church and a cemetery for Italian soldiers who dead in Spain.
However, because no funds, the tower was just half of heigh.
Nevertheless, it worths to have a visit.



Where is San Antonio de Padua church?


It is in Paseo de Cuellar, after Pignatelli park and near the Imperial canal.

A touristic bus stop is very close to it.
Bus lines 31, 33, 34, 39 and 42 have a stop very near that church. Some of them connects with city centre or the tramway


When can the tower be visited?.


You ought ask in the own church because it is part of the parish. They have different timetables depending the season. Anyway, even if closed, a walk around the church is quite interesting.




What can I find around the San Antonio church?


Just in front of the church there is another interesting church... but inside military territory so you can only see it from the street (I've been once for an event, I had to give my name for accepted guests and security was in every corner).

They are San Fernando barracks, maybe one of those places where you have more generals rather than soldiers (they are mainly offices and bureaus).

Here's a view.



Quite a little going to the north (walking down to the city centre) you will find the Pignatelli park. It is a very small park and it has the first statue located in Zaragoza. It is Ramon de Pignatelli who built the Imperial canal.

You can have a walk along the park and visit this statue:




And finally you can go south (away from city centre) and will find the Imperial Canal. It is nice to have a look and walking around it... but we will talk about it in the entrance "Zaragoza Green Belt".


and obviously, even if it is not a cathedral, try to enter inside San Antonio church:
