Saragossa

Saragossa, the capital of Aragon in Spain, is situated on the Ebro. The city is chiefly noteworthy for an image of the Virgin to which pilgrimages are made, and for the marvellous sieges by the French (1808-9), in which the Spaniards under Palafox made one successful and two glorious defences, only succumbing at last to disease.
