Albarracín was once the capital of the Taifa Kingdom and has retained all its Islamic and medieval charm. Its old town has been declared a cultural heritage site

Walking tour in the Spanish Central Plateau ~ Teruel (region) Arriving in the town of Albarracín, the first thing that catches your eye is its imposing fortifications, whose perimeter far exceeds the area of ​​the town center. What we see today corresponds to three different moments of construction. The fort and the Andador Tower date back to the 10th century. In the 11th century, the Taifa king of Albarracín built the walls surrounding the suburb of Ngarada. Finally, after the Reconquista, Christian lords and kings of Aragon built new walls and most of the forts and towers that remain today. The steep streets, including the Plaza Mayor, are particularly striking. The Town Hall is located here, with stunning views of the Guadalaviar River. The present-day Cathedral of El Salvador is part of the former Episcopal Palace, which was built in the 16th century. The Diocesan Museum, housed in the palace, exhibits precious Flemish tapestries. Furthermore, throughout the Albarracín Cultural Park you can see samples of Late Paleolithic art dating from between 6000 and 1000 BC. The best preserved remains are from the Roman period, including the 25-kilometre-long aqueduct from Albarracín to Serra. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Aragon
