1. Plaza de San Bruno Marker
La plaza de San Bruno debe su nombre al fundador de la Orden cartuja. Su imagen presidía la entrada a la Hospedería dependiente de la Cartuja de la Concepción, que se ubicaba en el entorno de la catedral. Tras una nueva disposición de la plaza y sus edificios, en el año 2000 se abrió el Museo del Puerto Fluvial de Caesaraugusta. En él se pueden contemplar los restos de un edificio monumen que comunicaba el muelle del río Ebro con el foro de la ciudad En este espacio se trata igualmente el tema de la navegación por el río durante la Antigüedad.

Plaza de San Bruno
St. Bruno's Square owes its name to the founder of the Order charterhouse. His image presided over the entrance to the dependent Hospedería of the Cartuja de la Concepción, which was located in the surroundings of the cathedral. After a new arrangement of the square and its buildings, in 2000 the Museum of the River Port of Caesaraugusta was opened. In it you can see the remains of a monumental building that communicated the dock of the river Ebro with the forum of the city. This space also deals with the issue of navigation on the river during antiquity. Since the Middle Ages the cathedral district has included the manor houses belonging to distinguished families and institutions. For example, the disappeared House of the Esmir – once at the beginning of Sepulchre Street and the Old Aduania - in the old Plaza del Reino -, and those that can still be seen in the current Palafox Street, including the House of the Dean and the House of Lazán. The first stands out for its arched passageway, which communicates the old House of the Prior with the cathedral. Its origin dates back
