''Aragon'' (Spanish and Aragonese: '''Aragón''', Catalan: '''Aragó''') is an autonomous community in [[Spain]], coextensive with the medieval '''Kingdom of Aragon'''. Located in northeastern Spain, the Aragonese autonomous community comprises three provinces (from north to south): [[Has subregion::Huesca]], [[Has subregion::Zaragoza]], and [[Has subregion::Teruel]].

Aragon's northern province of Huesca borders [[France]] and is positioned in the middle of the Pyrenees. Within Spain, the community is flanked by [[Catalonia]] on the east, [[Valencian Community]] and [[Castilla–La Mancha]] to the south, and [[Castile and Leon[[, [[La Rioja]], and [[Navarre]] to the west.


Covering an area of 47,719 km2 (18,424 sq mi), the region's terrain ranges diversely from permanent glaciers to verdant valleys, rich pasture lands and orchards, through to the arid steppe plains of the central lowlands. Aragon is home to many rivers—most notably, the river Ebro, Spain's largest river in volume, which runs west-east across the entire region through the province of Zaragoza. It is also home to the Aneto, the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.
It has '''Zaragoza''' as its capital city.


As of 2012, the population of Aragon was 1.3 million - more precisely [[Has population::1,349,467]] - with slightly more than half of it living in Zaragoza, its capital city.

In addition to its three provinces, Aragon is subdivided into 33 "comarcas" or counties; all with a rich geopolitical and cultural history from its pre-Roman, Celtic and Roman days; and from the four centuries of Islamic period as Marca Superior of Al-Andalus or kingdom (or taifa) of Saraqustah, and as lands that once belonged to the Frankish Marca Hispanica; and counties that later formed the Kingdom of Aragon and eventually the empire or Crown of Aragon.
