Teruel Cathedral, of Romanesque-Mudéjar origin from the 13th century and enlarged later. It is part of the Mudéjar architecture of Teruel, a World Heritage Site. Its brick tower with glazed ceramics stands out, and inside, the polychrome Mudéjar coffered ceiling of the central nave, unique for its size and for its paintings of scenes from medieval life. The Renaissance lantern tower, from 1538, crowns the crossing. It is on Plaza de la Catedral, in the historic centre.
