Tarazona is a town and municipality, and the capital of the comarca
Tarazona y el Moncayo in
Aragon, Spain. It is also the seat of the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Tarazona. Located on the river
Queiles, a tributary of the
Ebro, Tarazona was an important regional centre of ancient Rome, known as Turiaso, located around 60 kilometres (37 miles) from
Bilbilis. The city later came under the rule of the
Visigoths, who called it Tirasona. This view of Tarazona was taken from the city's episcopal palace, and shows
Tarazona Cathedral and its seminary, the Old Bullfight Arena, and the Sanctuary of the Lady of the River.
