Teruel Cathedral was founded in 1171 as a Romanesque church to which a Mudéjar tower was added in the 13th century. It was not until 1587 that it became a cathedral with the creation of the diocese of Teruel. A notable example of Mudéjar architecture, it has been inscribed on the World Heritage List since 1986, along with other Aragonese Mudéjar buildings.
The church of San Pedro de Teruel is a 14th-century church typical of the Mudéjar architecture of Aragon. Its tower is the oldest example of Teruel Mudejar and dates from the 13th century. The interior of the temple was decorated between 1896 and 1902 in Neomudéjar Modernist style by Pablo Monguió Segura and the artist Salvador Gisbert.
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.
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.
