Teruel is a small capital on a hill, with the Turia at its foot and a centre you can cover entirely on foot in a day. What sets it apart are its Mudéjar towers of brick and green and white ceramic, a World Heritage Site since 1986, the painted ceiling of its cathedral and the legend of the Lovers, which has its own mausoleum. On the outskirts is Dinópolis, the dinosaur park that turns the city into a family plan.

## How do you get to Teruel from Valencia or Zaragoza?

By car, along the A-23, the Mudéjar motorway. From Zaragoza it is about 170 km, around an hour and three-quarters. From Valencia, about 145 km via Sagunto, a little over an hour and a half; from Castellón, you go down to Sagunto and take the same motorway, about two hours.

By train, Renfe links Teruel with Zaragoza and Valencia. The station is at the foot of the Stairway: in ten minutes you walk up to the centre. It is one of the few Sunday outings in this area that can be done without a car, except Dinópolis, which is on the outskirts.

## Where do you park?

The historic centre has three municipal car parks. On the street, the ORA pay-and-display only operates on working days, Monday to Friday: at weekends parking in the regulated zone is free. Dinópolis has its own car park in the Los Planos industrial estate.

## What is there to see in Teruel in a day?

The El Salvador tower. You climb up inside, between its two towers, to the bells. €3; opens at 11:00.

The Mausoleum of the Lovers and San Pedro. The alabaster tombs, the Mudéjar cloister and, on the €10 full visit, the tower and the walkway. Open every day.

The cathedral, for its painted Mudéjar ceiling from around 1300.

The Stairway, San Martín and the Torico, free, whenever you like.

With that you have a full day. If you are going with children, swap the afternoon for Dinópolis, or give it a whole day: its ticket office closes at 15:00.

## How much time do you need?

For the city, a day. With children and Dinópolis, two: one for the park and another for the city. Teruel also combines with Albarracín, 40 minutes away, for a full weekend.

## When should you go?

All year. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant. In summer Dinópolis opens more days and the province's other sites do too; in winter the park only opens on the days in its calendar and it is properly cold, but the towers, the Lovers and the cathedral can be seen just the same. In July the Vaquilla del Ángel festival fills the city, and the Mausoleum closes on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of that festival.

## Where do you eat on Sunday?

The Mesón El Óvalo, at the foot of the Stairway, is open on Sunday at lunchtime with Teruel ham, migas and shoulder of ternasco lamb. Yain, next to the Lovers, serves a €30 menu at weekends, with its cod dishes and more than 200 wines by the glass; book, because it is small. At Dinópolis there are four restaurants inside, and you cannot bring in outside food.

## Dónde está
- Cerca: Albarracín (a 29.4 km), Sierra de Javalambre (a 38.7 km), Montanejos (a 58.3 km), Chulilla (a 78.5 km)

## Qué hacer
- **El Salvador Tower** (45 min · No problem with stairs · Desde 3 € per person): The El Salvador tower is one of Teruel's Mudéjar towers declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is of brick decorated with green and white ceramic, and inside you climb between its two towers, one inside the other, up to the belfry. It houses the interpretation centre for Teruel's Mudéjar architecture.
What the tower is like
It was finished in the first quarter of the 14th century, probably shortly after the San Martín one, which it imitates; the church next door is Baroque, because the medieval one collapsed in 1677. It stands on Calle de El Salvador, inside the walls and a few metres from the Portal de Guadalaviar, and has a street passage at its base, a feature of Teruel's Mudéjar towers.
Its central body repeats the scheme of the Almohad minarets: an outer tower that wraps an inner one. Between the two run the corridors and staircases you climb, covered by corbelled brick vaults. On the outside, the brick panels form intersecting mixtilinear arches, eight-pointed stars and zigzag bands, with pieces of glazed ceramic in green, from copper oxide, and white, from tin: tiles, plates and discs, small columns and stars. It is crowned by a belfry of Christian design, with two rows of openings. It served as a belfry, a clock and a watchtower.
What you visit
The climb passes through the stacked rooms of the tower, covered with rib vaults, and ends at the belfry. In the Alarife room, a character, Abdalá Ramí, tells the history of the city, how the tower was built and its legends. The others are devoted to Mudéjar in Teruel, with a model of the city in the 14th century, to Mudéjar through time, with the building materials, and to Mudéjar in space, with its geography.
Hours and price
Mornings from 11:00 to 14:00 and afternoons from 16:30 to 18:30, according to the tower's website; allow at least 45 minutes. Entry: €3; reduced €2.50 for children aged 7 to 17; under-7s free. Groups of more than 20 must book. It is sold only at the ticket desk, not online. Telephone 978 60 20 61; email info@torredelsalvador.com.
The tower is a short step from the Escalinata and Plaza del Torico, and a few minutes from the cathedral. With children, the model of the medieval city helps them understand what they then see from above.
- **Mausoleum of the Lovers and San Pedro** (1 h · Everyone · Desde 9 € per person): Isabel de Segura and Juan Diego de Marcilla, the Lovers of Teruel, are buried in a mausoleum beside the church of San Pedro, beneath two alabaster tombs in which the figures almost touch hands. The Fundación Amantes de Teruel shows the mausoleum together with the Mudéjar complex of San Pedro, which is part of the Mudéjar of Aragon declared a World Heritage Site. You enter in one-hour sessions, with a guide or an audio guide, from €9.
From the mausoleum to the tower walkway
The visit starts at the mausoleum and continues through the church of San Pedro, the Mudéjar cloister, the apse and the garden. That much is the visit without the tower, of about 45 minutes. The full one, of an hour, adds the climb up the tower of San Pedro and the ándito, the outdoor passage that runs around the church high up. If you are afraid of heights or find stairs hard, the 45-minute one spares you the climb.
2026 rates and who pays less

Full visit, with tower and ándito: €10; reduced, €8.50.
Mausoleum and Mudéjar complex, without the tower: €9; reduced, €7.50.
Under-7s and Friends of the Lovers: free.

The reduced rate is for pensioners, groups of more than 20 people, students under 25 and large families, always with their valid official accreditation, which is shown at the ticket desk on the day of the visit. If the guided tickets are sold out for your time, the Foundation offers the visit without the tower with an audio guide or a change of session.
Year-round hours
It opens every day from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00, and the ticket desk closes half an hour before each closing time. Guided sessions leave every hour. It closes on 25 December, 1 January and the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the Vaquilla del Ángel. On 5 January, 24 and 31 December and the Friday of the Vaquilla it opens in the morning only. Hours may change because of religious celebrations or cultural events.
The weekend family visit
On Saturdays and Sundays at 12:00 and 17:00 there is a visit designed for primary-school children, accompanied by at least one adult. It covers the mausoleum and the San Pedro complex over an hour and a half in a different register. It is bought on the same website, choosing the family visit.
San Pedro is a few steps from Plaza del Torico. The Sunday plan through the Mudéjar towers, the Lovers and the cathedral combines it with the El Salvador tower, and for lunch afterwards, Yain is on Plaza de la Judería, about 50 metres away.
- **Dinópolis Teruel** (6 h 30 · Families with children from 4 years old · Desde 27 € per person): Dinópolis is Teruel's palaeontology park, in the Los Planos industrial estate, on the outskirts of the city. It combines a palaeontological museum with dinosaur remains found in the province, themed routes, shows, a 4D simulator, a 3D cinema and outdoor areas. Entry costs from €34 for adults and €27 for children aged 4 to 11, and the park estimates an average visit of six and a half hours.
A day inside the park
You go in in the morning and leave in the afternoon: you cannot leave and re-enter with the same ticket, or bring in food or drink from outside. The times of shows and attractions are on the map you are given at the access control or the ticket desk, so look at it on arrival and plan the day around them. Only two attractions have a minimum height: Sauriopark and the Terra Colossus 4D virtual simulator. During the plays and the T-Rex Show you cannot take photos or record.
Inside there are four restaurants: La Parada de Riox, La Terraza de Rubi, the Mesón de Dinoel and La Cantina de Rocco. They have a gluten-free menu and an allergen list. Most of the facilities are covered and the park does not close for rain; if an area closes because of the weather or a breakdown, no refund is given.
2026 tickets

Adults aged 12 to 59: from €34.
Children aged 4 to 11 and over-60s: from €27.
Under-4s: free.
With the seven sites of the province: from €37 and €30; individual sites cost €5.50 and €4.50.

Discounts cannot be combined. Parking is free.
Open only on calendar days
Dinópolis does not open every day: only those marked on its calendar, and the ones that do not appear are closed. In 2026 the Teruel site opens on those dates until 30 December, from 10:00 to 19:00 or 20:00 depending on the day, with the ticket desk closing at 15:00. The sites around the province, such as Mar Nummus in Albarracín, closed the season on 2 November.
Animals are not admitted, except guide dogs. The tickets and attractions are set up for people with reduced mobility. The park recommends warm clothing according to the season and comfortable footwear.
Before and after the park
The Sunday with children at Dinópolis and Plaza del Torico leaves the afternoon for the centre: the Escalinata and Plaza del Torico can be walked in an hour and a half. To stay with children, the Hotel El Mudayyan has family rooms for four in the historic centre.
- **Cathedral of Santa María de Mediavilla** (45 min · Everyone): Teruel Cathedral is eight centuries old and has a Mudéjar bell tower of 1257-1258 attached to it. What you come to see is inside: the painted Mudéjar ceiling over the central nave, which Turismo de Aragón calls the "Sistine Chapel of Mudéjar". There is also the lantern tower by Martín de Montalbán, the high altarpiece by Gabriel Yoli and the Modernista south portal by Pablo Monguió, with the railing by Matías Abad.
What you will see
It began as the parish church of Santa María de Mediavilla, became a collegiate church in 1342 and a cathedral in 1587, when the diocese of Teruel was created. It has three naves and a straight ambulatory. The tower, raised in 1257, is of brick with green and white glazed ceramic, and its first section opens in a pointed arch over the street.
The ceiling is of wood, with a pair-and-collar-beam frame, and measures about 32 m. According to the diocese it dates from the second half of the 13th century; the city's tourist map places it around 1300. It is covered in geometric, plant, heraldic and written paintings, and scenes with kings, knights, craftsmen, saints and fantastical creatures: an encyclopedia of medieval life. In the 18th century it was hidden by a Neoclassical false ceiling, and that protected it to this day; the last major restoration was in 1999. It has been a National Monument since 1911.
The lantern tower, finished in 1538 by Martín de Montalbán, is an octagon with large windows of Renaissance motifs over the crossing. The high altarpiece was commissioned in 1532 from Gabriel Yoli. Outside, the south portal designed by Pablo Monguió in 1909 opened the city's neo-Mudéjar period. The tower, the ceiling and the lantern are part of the Mudéjar of Teruel declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986.
Hours and tickets
The diocese publishes tourist hours on working days of 11:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 in winter, until 20:00 in summer. During services tourist visits are not allowed: on working days there are masses from 9:00 to 11:00, and on Sundays and public holidays from 9:00 to 14:00. Tickets are sold on the cathedral's ticket website; the price does not appear on the diocese's page. Information and visits on 978 61 80 16 or at info@catedraldeteruel.es. The cathedral is at Plaza de la Catedral, 3, and the Museum of Sacred Art, in the episcopal palace, has a separate entrance from Plaza Venerable Francés de Aranda.
Allow about 45 minutes. Very close by are the El Salvador tower and the Mausoleum of the Lovers.
- **Walk through the Escalinata, San Martín and the Torico** (1 h 30 · Everyone · On your own · free): A free walk around what can be seen from the street. It starts down at the railway station and climbs the Escalinata, the great neo-Mudéjar staircase of brick and ceramic that links the station with the Paseo del Óvalo. Above, the El Salvador tower; then the San Martín tower (1315-1316), also built as two towers one inside the other. It ends at Plaza del Torico, with its column and its small bull, and beneath it the medieval cisterns, begun in 1373.
The route
The Escalinata. It was inaugurated in 1921 to bridge the steep drop between the station and the historic centre, and so that those arriving by train would have a good first impression of the city. It was designed by the civil engineer José Torán de la Rad, who mixed Mudéjar brick and ceramic with Modernista ironwork. In its upper part there is an attached stone high relief of the Lovers, by the sculptor Aniceto Marinas. It is a Site of Cultural Interest and, together with the cathedral's south portal, the most representative work of Teruel's neo-Mudéjar, according to the Town Council.
El Salvador and the old town. You go up towards the centre along Calle de El Salvador; the tower has a street passage at its base, like the other Mudéjar towers of Teruel. If you want to climb it, see the page for the El Salvador tower.
San Martín. On Plaza del Seminario rises the slender San Martín tower, with its panels of green and white ceramic. A little lower down is the Portal de Daroca, or de la Andaquilla, through which, according to legend, Diego de Marcilla entered on the day of Isabel's wedding.
Plaza del Torico. It is the centre of the city's life. Beneath it are the 14th-century cisterns, water reservoirs for times of scarcity or siege. In the square the Modernista building of Tejidos El Torico, by Monguió, with its corner turret, also stands out.
So you do not get lost

The ceramic panels of San Martín are easy to see from the street.
The cisterns open every day from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00; entry costs €1.30, €1 for ages 7 to 14 and pensioners, and is free for under-7s. Access is adapted.
The municipal tourist office is at Plaza de los Amantes, 6.
On the third Saturday of November the city celebrates the Modernista Week, with street re-enactments.

From Plaza del Torico, Calle Hartzenbusch climbs to San Pedro and the Mausoleum of the Lovers.

- **Hotel El Mudayyan** (Small hotel): Two houses and a passage
El Mudayyan is two houses joined together in the heart of Teruel's historic centre, on Calle Nueva, next to the church of El Salvador and a few steps from Plaza del Torico.

In the basement there is a 14th-century archaeological complex with the passage that in the Middle Ages linked the priest's house with the church. The hotel shows it on a guided visit of its "medieval gallery", with a personalised tour; the website does not publish hours or price, so ask on arrival.

The hotel offers parking at €15 per space per night, counted from 12:00 to 12:00. It is best to ask for it when you book, because the centre of Teruel has narrow streets and the street is not the best place to leave the car for several days.
