The Lonja de Zaragoza (Loggia of Zaragoza) is a Renaissance-style building located in Zaragoza.
History and description
The palace was built to a design by Juan de Sariñena between 1541 and 1551[1][2] to serve as the venue for commercial exchange,[3][4] instead of using ecclesiastical precincts such as that of the Seo.[5][6]
The building's design draws inspiration from the Loggia of Valencia[5] and from that of Majorca[7] and represents the most important Spanish Renaissance-style building in all of Aragon,[5] as well as the first in which the influences of the Florentine palaces of the Quattrocento[7] are blended with the nuances of Aragonese Mudéjar.[1]
As is customary in Aragonese architecture, the building is constructed of brick and has a rectangular floor plan[3][7] on three levels, which however do not reflect the internal volume, which consists of a single floor.
