This Aragonese city is synonymous with Mudejar art, making it one of the best places to admire this unique style—a stunning blend of Islamic artistic traditions and Christian architectural influences. The defining features of Mudejar, such as geometric brickwork, glazed ceramic tiles, and intricate wooden ceilings, are beautifully showcased in Teruel’s towers and churches, four of which are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Teruel is not just a cultural treasure; it’s also a charming small city with a fascinating history—it was even once a land of dinosaurs!
