Albarracín Cathedral was built between 1572 and 1600 on the remains of an old Romanesque church built at the end of the 12th century. It was designed by the architects Martín de Castañeda and the French architect Quinto Pierres Vedel. At the beginning of the 18th century, the interior of the church was refurbished with Baroque elements, such as the pilasters, which are still preserved today.
The XVI century (1581–1589) saw the construction of the Asunción de Nuestra Señora Church in Albalate del Arzobispo, Province of Teruel, Spain. It is a catholic church with a mudéjar style built on the roof of an earlier church, the remains of which are only the three upper floors. Since 2001, it has been listed as a Cultural Property of Interest.
The church of San Martín in San Martín del Río (Province of Teruel, Spain) is a church built between the 16th and 18th centuries in the late Gothic style. In its factory it combines masonry on the walls with ashlar in the corners and brick in the upper areas, reflecting the different construction phases.
The tower of the church of Salvador de Teruel is a Mudéjar Aragonese style building built in the 14th century. At that time, the Muslim population still lived in the city thanks to the privileges granted by Alfonso II. The tower imitates the structure of the Almohad minaret with two concentric square towers. Once the restoration work was completed, between 1991 and 1993, it became the first Mudejar tower to be visited in the city of Teruel.
