Located to the south of Zaragoza, the town of Daroca has a population of around 2,000 and is mostly famous for its medieval walls, which stretch for over four kilometres and formerly has a staggering 114 fortified towers. You still enter the town through its 2 ancient portals, and inside you will find some fine Mudejar architecture. Places worth visiting in Daroca include the Iglesia de Santa Maria, the Iglesia de San Miguel, the Puerta Alta and Puerta Baja gateways, the Iglesia de Santo Domingo and the Fountain of Twenty Pipes. Daroca is about thirty eight kilometres from Calatayud.
