ROUTE OF THE CASTLES IN ARAGON: ALBARRACIN

36 km. from Teruel.
It is a picturesque town, declared National Monument.
Its Medieval lay-out has been conserved almost intact in a landscape of cliffs and the steep meander of the river Guadalaviar.
The oldest part of the town gathered around the noble castle, located on a high rock.
On this rock lies the Military Residence of the Lords of Albarracín, Muslim first, and Christian afterwards.
At its foot were the cathedral (Historic-Artistic Monument) and the episcopal palace.
The church of Santa Maria (16^th C.) is located towards the closest end of the gorge.
The ruins of the Muslim castle lie overshadowed by the spectacular curtain of walls climbing up the hill. In other two mountains two more castles were built: Andador Castle, of which a tower has been conserved and Muela Castle, of which there are no traces.

Guided tours in July and August.
