The area of modern-day Aragón corresponds to the medieval Kingdom of Aragón which existed from 1035 to 1707. Its capital is the city of Zaragoza. The region is divided into three provinces namely Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel. Aragón has a population of 1.3 million people, with half of that living in Zaragoza. A sparsely populated region, Aragón is mountainous, with deep valleys and canyons between snow-capped peaks.
