Sights in Teruel

Cathedral

The Cathedral is in a mixture of styles - over hundreds of years. The oldest part is the tower, that's largely Mudejar, but it's the magnificent Mudejar ceiling that should be regarded as a mustsee. The entry ticket covers the Cathedral museum as well -quite cheap. Make sure you turn on the lights!

El Salvador - Mudejar tower

In a city of great Mudejar towers, this is possibly the best of them all. It is probably a bit more recent than the very similar tower of San Martín, but its osition over a narrow road going downhill gives a terrific view. Both San Martín and this one contain a plain tower inside of the ornate one - but it's only El Slavador that has steps between the two towers enabling ascent.

San Pedro and Los Amantes

The church of San Pedro is the site for the last of the four Mudejar towers, no doubt at least as photogenic as the others when not undergoing restoration. However it's two other features of the church, which make it particularly attractive to tourists.

The first is the fact that it provides the mausoleum for Los Amantes [The Lovers] of Teruel. Diego was not allowed to marry Isabel beause he wasn't rich. Her father gave him five years to come back rich. He did - but hours late to hear wedding bells ringing as isabel became the wife of A.N. Other. He begged for a last more..

San Martín - Mudejar tower

The tower of San Martín is probably the oldest of Teruel's Mudejar towers. It closely resembles that of El Salvador, but here it's not possible to ascend the tower. It's very near the Ayuntamiento and the Cathedral and well worth seeing.

Acueducto de los Arcos

The aqueduct/viaduct is from the Renaissance period, though built to look Roman. You might well consider the word 'pedestrian' should be added somewhere on the website as you would be mightily pushed to get a car onto the lower level!

Even so it's a distinctive building and should be seen.
