Centro  This building was built in the 18th century as Casa de
Misericordia, an orphanage and poorhouse. The patron of the
city, Ramon Pignatelli, promoted its construction. During the
War of Independence this building became a military hospital. In
the 70s it was a college and in 1983 was renovated and became
the seat of the Government of Aragón. In the centre stands the
golden dome of the old church which is now a function hall.
Interestingly, while it was an orphanage the building was
maintained by the money collected from bullfights.  Write a
