Sobre Sarrión

<p><strong>Heritage</strong></p>

The Portal of Teruel, built at the beginning of the 14th century, was one of the seven entrance gates to Sarrión’s walled enclosure; today it is the only one that remains. It is made of masonry, flanked by two semicircular towers, and a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Pillar was later added above it. It was declared a Site of Artistic Interest in 1982.

The Chapel of El Pilar is a square room with a dome over pendentives, decorated with tiles and mural paintings, including a depiction of Our Lady of the Pillar.

Next to it is the Monterde Palace House, a 16th-century Renaissance building with three floors, an elegant ashlar façade, wrought-iron balconies, and an Aragonese gallery. It played an important role during the Civil War.

The Hermitage of the Blood of Christ, located in the upper part of the town, was Sarrión’s first parish church (13th century), in a Romanesque-Gothic style. With a rectangular floor plan and single nave, it preserves Gothic remains and three 14th-century sculptures (Christ, the Virgin, and St. John), now in the Diocesan Museum of Teruel.

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, from the 17th century, has three naves with barrel vaults, a decorated central dome, and a stone façade with a classical portal. Its tower was rebuilt after the Civil War.
