Teruel information
Valderrobres information
Valderrobres is the most outstanding town of Matarraña. Entry
is gained over the medieval bridge of San Roque, held up by pointed
arches. Its urban layout is composed of narrow, winding little
streets which creep up the hill in search of the two most emblematic
buildings: the castle from the 14th century (without a doubt,
the most spectacular and artistic of all the province's castles)
and the church of Santa María la Mayor, from the 16th century
and declared to be Historic-Artistic Heritage, whose tower is
connected to the castle by a passage. The church is a fine example
of Teruel's Gothic style, whose façade is decorated with a magnificent
rose window.
There are also a great many civil buildings worth mentioning:
the gate of San Roque or the Gate of the Lions (14th century);
the door of Bergos (13th- 14th centuries), above which there is
a house; or the City Hall (16th century), a Renaissance building
with a huge Aragonese gallery of semicircular arches, declared
to be a National Monument.
