Torre de El Salvador, Teruel

Teruel has some of the finest Mudéjar architecture in Spain, built by Muslim craftsmen under Christian rule, and its towers are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 14th-century Torre de El Salvador is the best of them, decorated with patterns of brick and green and white glazed ceramic tiles. You can climb inside, up stairs between its two walls, to the bells and a view over the town.

The cathedral, with its painted Mudéjar wooden ceiling, and the towers of San Martín and San Pedro are nearby. In the main square, the Plaza del Torico, a tiny bull statue tops a column. Teruel is also home to Dinópolis, a dinosaur theme park and museum on the edge of town.
