Albarracín is surrounded by stony hills and located in a meander of the Guadalaviar River. Beyond doubt the small city of Albarracín is such a unique place that has preserved all its Islamic and medieval flavor; its old quarter was declared and protected by the UNESCO, designed as a Historic and Artistic Site in 1961.
Walking along the city and stepping into its monuments is like traveling to the medieval ages.
The stunning architectonical and urban legacy of this unique town, breaths charm and rest. Albarracin treasures that surprise anyone who arrives at the town. You will admire every inch, the red-colored houses, the narrow streets, the ups and downs, the ancient doors, and ring bells, the tiny carved wood, the nicely forged balconies.
The Castle, the Fortress, the Towers, the Cathedral, churches,… There is such a large range of monuments and museums to discover and to rediscover our History.
