  • The history of the main organ of the Basilica in Zaragoza begins in the years 1577-1587 with the construction of an organ by Hernado Aonso Hernandez de Cordoba. In the years 1595-1602 it was reconstructed by Guillaume de Lupe. The organ was completely rebuilt by Bartolomeo Sanchez in the eighteenth century. The construction was completed in 1743. The current front is largely in the state of 1743. In 1857 Pedro Roqués renovated the organ.
  • In 1940 it was decided to build a completely new large main organ. The assignment went to Juan Dourte. Large parts of the existing instrument were reused. In 1950 the organ was only partially completed. The firm Organeria Españiol was the last to work on the order.
  • In the years 2007-2008 the current organ was built by the Klais company. It is largely newly built. The organ case has been taken over in the arrangement of 1950. The new organ was inaugurated on February 12, 2008 with a concert by Michel Bouvard.
