Summary "Descripcion é historia del castillo de la aljafería" by Mariano Nougués Secall is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as a comprehensive description and exploration of the Aljafería Castle, located in Zaragoza, examining its historical significance and architectural features throughout various periods, particularly focusing on its Islamic heritage and later adaptations. The opening of this work highlights the author's motivation for writing it, influenced by the anticipated visit of Queen Isabel II in 1844. He recounts discussions regarding the castle’s ornamentation and the need to document its historical significance. Nougués Secall expresses a strong desire to illuminate the past glories of the castle and to contribute to the preservation of its historical riches, emphasizing a blend of personal commitment and professional duty. He aims to rekindle interest among the Aragonese in their heritage while also appealing for government attention to restoration efforts for this historical monument.
