Torre de la iglesia del Salvador

Teruel, ES

Torre de la iglesia del Salvador

Believed to date from the early 14th century, this very finely-decorated Mudéjar tower is covered with intricate tile work. Structurally it resembles a typical Almohad minaret, with a plain tower placed within the more elaborate outer tower, and a staircase usually open between them. The adjoining C

hurch of San Salvador de los Reyes dates to the late 17th century, and is considered to be the best example of Baroque architecture in Teruel province. Especially noteworthy in the main altarpiece is the central figure ''El Cristo del Salvador'', which was carved in the 13th century.
