Tarazona

Also known as Turiaso, Turiasso

Tarazona is a town in the province of Zaragoza in Aragon, Spain, near the Moncayo massif, known in Roman times as Turiaso. It was an episcopal see from late antiquity, taken from the Muslims by Alfonso I of Aragon in 1119. The Cortes of Tarazona of 1592 curtailed Aragon's traditional liberties after the revolt of Zaragoza.
