Mudejar style in Teruel, the most typical and famous.

Teruel is a legendary city thanks to the famous story of the lovers of Teruel, it´s full of charming corners like the central Plaza del Torico, the aqueduct of the arches and the popular Paseo del Óvalo.

Aqueduct in Teruel

From the earliest times, several prehistoric and Iberian civilizations settled in the area of Teruel. Reaching the highest prosperity during the Middle Age, a wall was built around its perimeter to separate its Christian land from the Muslim kingdom of Valencia, right next to it.

Plaza del Torico

It was precisely this Islamic influence that left in Teruel and Aragon the most important Mudejar monuments of Spain. It´s a fusion of Gothic with Muslim architectural elements that make this style unique around the world.

Thanks to its history, Teruel is full of little charming streets to visit and wonderful museums, such as the Diocesan Museum of Teruel and the Provincial museum.

Near the city of Teruel are historic places and villages like Albarracín, declared a National Monument.

Albarracín was the former capital of a Moorish kingdom (Taifa), ever since it has preserved all its Islamic and mediaeval characteristics. This entire multicultural heritage brought a wide range of architectural and cultural styles and built the village as it is now; narrow, steep and unorganized streets are all around. The medieval defensive walls are much longer than the village itself. What we see today corresponds to three different periods of construction.

Albarracín also offers the opportunity to visit some museums; the Bishops Palace has a Diocesan Museum (Santa María Foundation) attached to it with a good collection of Flemish tapestries. Other museums that you should not miss are the museum of Albarracín, the Museum of theironworks and there is even a Toy Museum, all of them are places of great interest.
