The Archdiocese of Saragossa (Latin: Archidioecesis Caesaraugustana; Aragonese: Archidiocesi de Zaragoza) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church located in north-eastern Spain, in the province of Zaragoza (Saragossa in English), part of the autonomous community of Aragón. The archdiocese heads the ecclesiastical province of Saragossa, having metropolitan authority over the suffragan dioceses of Barbastro-Monzón, Huesca, Tarazona, and Teruel and Albarracín.[1][2]
The diocese was created in Roman times; Pope John XXII elevated it to an archdiocese in 1318.
