Albarracín Spain

Albarracín is a town in the province of Teruel. The town is located in a meander of the Guadalaviar River. The Sierra de Albarracín mountain range rises to the South and West of the town. The small town of Albarracín has preserved all its Islamic and mediaeval flavour. Its old quarter has the Property of Cultural Interest designation. The steep streets stand out, among which the Plaza Mayor square is found. The Town Hall is located there, providing an amazing lookout point over the Guadalaviar River. The current El Salvador Cathedral, adjoined to the old Episcopal Palace, was built in the 16th century. The Diocese Museum, inside the palace, exhibits a valuable collection of flamenco tapestries. Furthermore, throughout the Albarracín Cultural Park, samples of post-Palaeolithic art from between c. 6000 and 1000 A.D. can be seen. The Roman era has the greatest quantity of remaining traces, including the 18 kilometre-long aqueduct that went from Albarracín to Cella.
