teruel


Teruel, a picturesque town in the Aragon region of Spain, is renowned for its Mudéjar architecture, a unique blend of Gothic and Islamic styles. This architectural style emerged in the 12th century, reflecting the cultural fusion that occurred in Spain after the Reconquista. The Mudéjar art in Teruel is characterized by the innovative use of brick and glazed tiles, especially in the construction of belfries. The town's significant landmarks, including the towers of the Santa María de Mediavilla Cathedral and the Church of San Pedro, are celebrated examples of this style and have been recognized by UNESCO for their historical value.
