The main attractions of Teruel: photos and descriptions. Open left menu Teruel Teruel spain attractions

Located in the very south of Aragon, the city of Teruel was long under Arab rule, which is clearly reflected in its magnificent Mudejar architecture. The best examples of medieval urban development are the Cathedral of Santa Maria (La Catedral de Santa Maria de Mediavilla, XII-XIII centuries), the bell tower of Torre de San Martin (XIV century), the La Escalinata staircase , the church of Iglesia de San Pedro and the tower of the homonymous church of Torre de San Salvador (XIII century) with their carved masonry stones inlaid with colorful tiles typical of Arabic ornamentation. It is very typical for Teruel towers to be located separately from the main church, which is most likely due to Arab buildings, where minarets are often built outside the mosque. Teruel's four churches are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as unique examples of Moorish-Christian art.

The historical part of the city - Centro Historico - is located on a hill above the Rio Turia River and is famous for its intricate medieval layout with numerous dead-end walls, narrow alleys and houses reminiscent of small fortresses. From the north, the elegant, monumental Los Arcos Aqueduct (16th century) stretches towards it, and in the south, an equally ancient viaduct connects the old center with the modern quarters of the city. The Gothic Church of San Francis (1391-1492), the churches of San Martin and San Miguel (XII century) and the Castillo de Alambes Castle (XV century) are noteworthy. Next to the Cathedral of Santa Maria stands the Palacio Episcopal Palace (XVI century), which now houses the Museum of Church Art with a rich collection of religious objects and decorations from the XIII-XVI centuries. The Provincial Museum has a fascinating archaeological collection, the earliest examples of which date back to the origins of man as a species. The Teruel Museum in Plaza Fray Anselmo contains an extensive collection of the history of local folklore and traditions. And next to Iglesia de San Pedro there is another cult place of the city - Mausoleo de los Amantes (Mausoleum of Lovers) - a chapel with the tomb of the “beloved of Teruel” - Isabel de Segura and Juan Diego Martinez de Marsilla (XIII century. ), legends about which are told throughout Spain.

Almost in the city itself there is www.dinopolis.com "Dinopolis" (open daily from 10.00 to 20.00, admission for adults - 18 euros, for children under 12 years old - 14 euros) - a new theme park telling about dinosaurs. 37 km west of Teruel lies Albarracin- one of the most picturesque cities of Aragon, in which dozens of medieval streets and characteristic tall buildings with balconies have been preserved in virtually intact condition (from 1165 to 1333 the city was the capital of a small independent state - the kingdom of Asahras).

To the east and northeast of Teruel begin the rocky slopes of the Sierra de Gudar and El Maestrasco mountains, famous for their wild beauty, deep gorges and green meadows. It is interesting that even a hundred years ago, many local residents, tired of fighting with wildlife in their attempts to somehow earn a living, left these places and moved to big cities. But their numerous colorful houses and terraced steep hills remain, turning into the calling card of these places, attracting many tourists. It is characteristic that the area around Teruel is considered the coldest and most sparsely populated place in the country, and the terrain here is often so difficult to navigate that many medieval monuments have remained largely unaffected by later eras.

The charm of Teruel leaves no one indifferent. The Spanish city, located in the northeastern part of the country, is called an open-air museum.
The Mudejar style decorates the ancient city and gives it charm. Most of the buildings are recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. Everything is fascinating: the centuries-old history, the exciting atmosphere, the original flavor, the hospitality of the Spaniards. But what attracts the most attention from tourists is the sights of Teruel. When planning a travel route in the south of Spain and independent travel, you should definitely visit this ancient city and its surroundings.

The stunning Spanish city of Teruel attracts travelers from all over the world not only with its centuries-old history, thanks to which it has become the most beautiful city in the country, but also with the special atmosphere of antiquity that reigns here. The uniqueness of Teruel lies in the fact that it is a real open-air museum of architecture, in the magnificent Spanish-Moorish Mudejar style. There are a great many priceless monuments of medieval architecture included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

City of Teruel stands in the northeastern part of Spain, and belongs to the autonomous community of Aragon. To the east of Teruel are the beautiful Sierra de Gudar and El Maestrasco mountain ranges, which attract eco-tourists with their magnificent, breathtaking deep gorges and bright green meadows - together creating beautiful landscapes. Teruel is a small Spanish town with a population of only thirty-five thousand people. In ancient times, back in the pre-Roman period, when it actually arose, the settlement was called Turbolet. Then it passed into the hands of the Romans, and when this powerful empire fell, the city was captured by Arab conquerors, who established power over the city for several centuries. These centuries could not but affect the architecture of the city, and many Muslim traditions and customs were eventually adopted by local Christians. As for the amazing architecture, the mixture of Eastern and Western cultures in Teruel gave rise to an absolutely amazing style that can only be found in some Spanish cities - “Mudejar”. It can be seen especially clearly in religious buildings: churches, cathedrals that grew up on the site of former Muslim mosques. Walking through the ancient quiet streets of Teruel, you realize that almost nothing has changed here since the Middle Ages: you can feel some unique atmosphere of antiquity here. The narrow streets are so intertwined that Teruel very much resembles a labyrinth.

Cathedral of Saint Mary in Teruel– “Catedral de Santa María de Teruel” was built in the twelfth century in the Romanesque style, and at the end of the thirteenth century, under the leadership of the Arab architect Husaffa, it was rebuilt in the Mudejar style. Then, over the next centuries, the architecture of the building underwent the following changes, the “Plateresque” and “Neo-Mudéjar” styles were introduced here. Since 1986, the Cathedral of Santa Maria has been included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list.

Museum of Religious Art– “Museo de Arte Sacro de Teruel” - is located in a beautiful historical architectural monument - the Bishop's Palace. It houses a rich collection of sacred exhibits: cult objects, religious items and unique jewelry from the period from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries.

Church of San Pedro– “Iglesia de San Pedro”, located behind the main square of Teruel – “Plaza Carlos Castel”. This church, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built in the fourteenth century on the site of a Franciscan monastery built in 1220. The church bell tower is the oldest example of the beautiful Moorish style. This is both an incredibly romantic and sad place in the city, within the walls of which there is a monument to tragic love - the “Mausoleum of Lovers”. According to medieval legend, lovers are buried here who could not get married, despite the strength of their feelings: the young man went to war to get rich, since he was too poor to marry such a wealthy bride, and the girl was married off while he was away . When he returned and found out that his beloved belonged to another, he died of grief. At the funeral, the girl wanted to kiss the guy for the last time, but her heart broke from shattered hopes. They were buried in the Church of San Pedro nearby, installing two majestic tombs with beautiful sculptural images of “Teruel lovers” holding hands.

Teruel Aqueduct– “Traída de las Aguas de Teruel”, a very interesting structure of the Spanish Renaissance, erected due to the need to supply the rapidly growing city with water, until then coming to Teruel from large reservoirs, built in the fourteenth century, located in the Plaza Carlos Castel and small wells in city ​​center. Construction of the aqueduct began in 1537. It was supposed to cross two ravines, thanks to the erected arches in the classical style, which, in addition to their direct purpose, would also play an aesthetic role. The aqueduct has a two-level design: the upper span has six arches, the lower - two. In 1558, this water supply was already brought to the Plaza Mayor. Fourteen water sources were installed throughout the city, to which six and a half thousand pipes were connected. Forty underground arches, an underground shaft, and the length of the underground galleries were almost a kilometer were used during construction.

"Tower of the Savior"– “Torre del Salvador” - located a hundred meters from the building. It is located along Nueva Street, being part of the church. The Tower of the Savior dates back to the fourteenth century, its outer walls are decorated with beautiful ceramic and stone ornaments, white and green. The entrance to the Tower of the Savior can be made through a small door, from Paseo del Ovalo, on the right side of the building. The entrance to the church itself is also located here.

Tower of St. Martin's Church– “Torre de la iglesia de San Martin” - rises on Perez Prado Square. The base of the tower is square, and its corners are reinforced with sixteenth-century stonework. The height of the tower is forty meters, it is decorated with magnificent ornaments and exquisite geometric patterns - circles, rhombuses, chess patterns.

Toriko's House– “Casa El Torico” is the best example of the Art Nouveau style that has survived to this day in the province of Aragon. It stands in Plaza Carlos Castel. The building was erected in 1912 for a wealthy local Lopez family. And the house acquired the name “Toriko” thanks to the name of the fabric store on its first floor. The building is incredibly beautiful: its lilac facades are harmoniously decorated with white decorative elements made of brick, ceramics, and forged metal. The main facade of the house, consisting of three floors and terraces, faces the square, the other two facades are more modest.

The old part of the city of Teruel is one of the most beautiful in the country. This is, one might say, an open-air museum, with medieval monuments in the Mudejar style, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Teruel is located at an altitude of 915 meters above sea level and is one of the coldest cities in Spain.

Story

The territory of modern Teruel has been inhabited since the time of the Iberians who settled here. Later they were replaced by the Romans, and then an Arab settlement existed on this site. In 1171, one of the decisive battles of the Reconquista for the province of Aragorn took place near Teruel, when Christian troops led by Alfonso II defeated the Arabs.

After the victory, a large number of Christian churches were erected in Teruel. The churches of Teruel were created by the Arabs who lived in this territory, excellent builders and architects. The Arab builders who erected Christian buildings in Spain were called Mudejars, that is, “submissive”, “tamed”. Their architectural style went down in art history as “Mudejar” - a mixture of Arab-Muslim decor and Christian romanticism, arabesques and Gothic. Arab craftsmen created amazing rhythmic geometric patterns from brick.

Teruel suffered greatly during the Spanish Civil War. During the Battle of Teruel in 1937-1938, the city passed from Republican to Nationalist several times. The latter also subjected the city to air bombardment.

At the end of the 20th century, Teruel found itself separated from the rest of Spain as a forgotten region. To draw attention to its problems, local activists launched a campaign under the slogan "Teruel exists" (" Teruel existe"). Thanks to it, transport links between the city and other regions of the country have improved.

Attractions

Teruel is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. The territory of its old town contains four churches included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Most of the city's attractions are located near Toriko area (Plaza del Torico- “Bull Square”) In its center there is a small statue bull El Torico (el Torico), mounted on a high column. This is the symbol of the city, erected in honor of the victory of King Alfonso II over the Arabs.

Teruel Cathedral of Saint Mary (Catedral of Santa Maria de Teruel) is the main cathedral of the city, a masterpiece of the Mudejar style. The cathedral began to be built in the Romanesque style at the end of the 12th century, and in the 13th century a bell tower made of terracotta bricks in the Mudejar style was added to it. The cathedral was also rebuilt and decorated with tile patterns. Inside the cathedral there is a wooden ceiling in the Arabic style, the dimensions of which reach 32 meters in length and 8 meters in width. And, although in traditional Arab-Muslim art it is forbidden to depict people, this ceiling is an exception: scenes described in chivalric poetry, fairy-tale monsters, images of hunting and everyday scenes were placed on it. These images, executed with humor and in great detail, reflect the content of court life in the Middle Ages. Here you can also find, one might say, a hooligan image of a couple in bed. Teruel Cathedral is located in La Catedral Square ( Plaza de la Catedral). Paid entrance. The cathedral's opening hours are from 11.00 to 14.00 and from 16.00 to 20.00.

In the center of Teruel there are two similar bell towers, built in the Mudejar style, reminiscent of Arab minarets - Torre de Salvador and Torre de San Martin.

Torre de Salvador (Torre de El Salvador) or Tower of the Savior - a bell tower erected in 1315-1316. One of the most beautiful buildings in the Mudejar style. The tower is built of terracotta bricks and decorated with blue-green tiles. In the upper part there is a bell tower, in the lower part there is a passage. The tower works as a museum; you can climb to its upper part. Paid entrance. Opening hours: from 11.00 to 14.00 and from 16.30 to 19.30 (in November, December, January - until 18.30). The tower is closed on Mondays (except August), Christmas and Easter holidays.

Torre de San Martin (Torre de San Martin) is a tower in the Mudejar style, built in 1315-1316. The tower is built of red brick and decorated with tiles.

There is a legend that the creators of the towers, Abdullah and Omar, competed in an effort to win the love of the beautiful Zeraida. The author of the most beautiful tower was supposed to become the girl's husband. Abdallah, the creator of the Torre de Salvador tower, won, and Omar could not survive the defeat and threw himself from the roof of his tower - Torre de San Martin.

Church of Iglesia de San Pedro (Iglesia de San Pedro) or the Church of St. Peter - a beautiful building in the Mudejar style. Torre de San Pedro - the tower of St. Peter - is the burial place of the "Teruel lovers", Isabel de Segura and Juan Diego de Marcia. The girl was from a rich family, and the boy was a poor worker. She was married off to a rich man, and Diego was expelled from the city. The young man died of grief, and after him the girl also left for another world. The Mausoleum of Lovers was erected next to the church. It contains a tomb decorated with a sculpture of two lovers holding hands. This piece is made of alabaster by contemporary artist Juan de Avalos.

Teruel - medieval city-museum

Teruel is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, the capital of the province of the same name in the autonomous community of Aragon, located on the border with the Valencian Community. This is a city with a long history, in which the Mudejar architectural style, recognized by UNESCO in 1986 as a World Heritage Site, is presented in all its glory.

In the eastern part of the city there are picturesque mountains - the Sierra de Gudar and El Maestrasco, and the landscape is simply mesmerizing - green meadows, majestic mountains, pristine untouched nature, a magnificent view that enchants the eye with its beauty. You can see entire buildings and houses abandoned by the local population - the indigenous population was forced to leave more than a century ago due to historical events of that time. This is what attracts tourists from many countries.

Since Teruel is located in the northern part of the country, the city has a rather harsh climate and is one of the coldest cities in Spain. The climate is influenced by the winds of the Mediterranean Sea, and the weather is often changeable compared to other cities in Spain.

Teruel has a very rich historical past. The city was founded in the ancient Roman period and was subject to the conditions of other invaders. For example, for a long time the empire was under the rule of the Romans, but even after its fall, it belonged to the Muslims, who were able to establish power over the state for a short period of time, and only at the end of the 15th century did Spain finally unite and liberate its lands from the invaders. Therefore, various traditions and customs intersect in the city, which are still found today, and this is especially expressed in the religious views of the population and architecture, but this is where the special zest of this city can be seen.

Even today, Teruel resembles an ancient city with cozy small streets, where every stone keeps its own history. In some ways, the city resembles a labyrinth, as the streets are intricately intertwined with each other and everyone who comes to this city will be able to feel the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

The architecture of Teruel is created in a rather original Mudejar style, which gives the city a certain charm. Mudejar "mudejar" is a unique architectural style that arose on the Iberian Peninsula as a result of the fusion of cultural traditions of Christian and Islamic arts, which flourished in the Middle Ages. This style is present especially in cathedrals and churches. For example, in the heart of the city there is the famous Cathedral of St. Mary of Mediaville. The appearance of the cathedral has retained all the elements inherent in this architectural style, despite the fact that construction began in the Romanesque style and was completed at the end of the 13th century. In 1986, St. Mary's Cathedral was declared a UNESCO cultural heritage site. Not far from the Cathedral of St. Mary is the Palacio Episcopal, a palace that now houses the Museum of Church Art, which houses a huge collection of unique religious objects and decorations.

Other buildings in Teruel are also made in the Mudejar style: the Church of San Pedro (Iglesia de San Pedro), the Tower of the Church of San Pedro (Torre de San Pedro), the Tower of the Church of San Martin (Torre de San Martin), all of them are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List Heritage. The Church of San Pedro is also famous for the burials of Diego de Marcilla and Isabel de Segura, whose love story is a kind of Spanish version of Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet.

According to legend, Diego sets out to win wealth at the request of the father of his beloved, Isabel, the daughter of one of the richest families in the city. Upon his return 5 years later, Diego learns that his bride has been married off. He asks Isabel for a last kiss, but she, like a married lady, refuses him, after which he falls dead, heartbroken. The next day, during the funeral, Isabel leans over the body of her lover to kiss him goodbye and life leaves her. The lovers were buried together in one of the chapels of the Church of San Pedro.

Every year on February 14, Valentine's Day, a theatrical performance of the story of Diego and Isabel is held on the streets of Teruel. All city residents dress up in costumes from the 13th century, and the city plunges into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. It is worth noting that the city of Teruel is not only a monument of architectural art. The area around the city is famous for its numerous archaeological sites, as well as magnificent examples of rock art, recognized as World Heritage Sites and protected by UNESCO.

But the historical old part of the city is designed in a medieval style. The Gothic Saint-Francis Cathedral deserves special attention. It will also be interesting for tourists to visit the Provincial Museum and get acquainted with interesting archaeological exhibits that have been preserved from ancient times. In Plaza Fray Anselmo there is a museum that displays the folklore and traditions of Teruel. On Toriko Square there is a pedestal for the symbol of the city - the bull; it was in honor of this brave animal that the city got its name.

You can see the panorama of the city by climbing the San Martin Tower. A simply unforgettable panorama of the city opens before tourists. Be sure to visit the bell tower of Torre de San Martin, the Iglesia de San Pedro church and the tower of the homonymous church of Torre de San Salvador. From Toriko Square you can take a small tourist steam locomotive on an interesting excursion to all the most interesting places in the Old and New Towns. The locomotive consists of five carriages and travels along a specially laid path, and during the trip the guide will introduce you to the history of many of the city’s attractions.
