Teruel: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Teruel combines impressive Mudéjar architecture with palaeontology, historic festivals and landscapes in the wider surrounding region. The World Heritage sites of Aragón’s Mudéjar architecture in Teruel include the tower, roof and cimborio of the Cathedral of Santa María de Mediavilla, the tower and church of San Pedro, and the church towers of San Martín and Salvador.

Culture and History

The Mudéjar art of Aragón bears witness to the peaceful medieval coexistence of Christianity and Islam, under the influence of Jewish culture. Particularly rich in detail is the roof of the Cathedral of Santa María de Teruel: it depicts scenes of traditional carpentry trades, religious life, various social groups and the medieval bestiary.

Historical buildings from different periods can also be found outside the cathedral. The Torre de la Bombardera is considered Teruel’s first artillery tower. The Acueducto de los Arcos was built to improve the water supply of the city of Teruel. In the immediate vicinity of Teruel, the Acueducto de los Arcos is also a museum. Other museums in the immediate vicinity of Teruel include the Museo Histórico, the Museo Provincial de Teruel and the Torre de El Salvador.

The Museo de Teruel added the original figure of the Torico de Teruel to its permanent exhibition; when it was presented at the time, it could be seen on the building’s fourth floor. Another historical aspect is shown by Mora de Rubielos in the wider surrounding region of Teruel: the town has a medieval urban layout with preserved sections of the city wall and former access gates. The Castillo de Mora de Rubielos was built by the Fernández de Heredia between the 14th and 15th centuries and is considered one of the best-preserved castles in Aragón; it is also located in the wider surrounding region of Teruel.
