Albarracín
The city is located at an altitude of 1200m and is surrounded by the meander of the Guadalaviar river and the defensive system of the 10th century wall, with the two main towers, the Andador tower from the 10th century and the Doña Blanca tower from the 13th century, which together with the Alcazaba, the main residence that was located at the upper level of the enclosure and had a large cistern under the courtyard, as well as a hammam (Arab bath), make Albarracin an impregnable defensive system.
The medieval village is a journey through time… walking through its streets takes us into the Middle Ages and transports us to the past.
It has been a National Monument since 1961, acquired the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 1996, was proposed by UNESCO to be declared a World Heritage Site, and is a member of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain.
