TERUEL

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 664 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TERUEL , the
capital
  of the Spanish province of Teruel; on the left bank of the river Guadalaviar, at its confluence with the Alfambra, and on the Murviedro-Calatayud railway. Pop. (1900) 10,797. The older
part
  of Teruel is a walled city with narrow gloomy streets and crumbling medieval houses, but modern suburbs have been built outside the walls. Some of the numerous churches are worth seeing, with their paintings by the 17th-century artist Antonio Visquert. In the cloisters of San Pedro lie the remains of the celebrated " lovers of Teruel," Juan de Marcilla and
Isabella
  de Segura, who lived in the 13th century and whose pathetic story has formed the subject of numerous dramas and poems by Perez de Montalban, Yaque de
Salas
 , Hartzenbusch and others. The
cathedral
 
dates
  from the 16th century. The
great
  aqueduct of 140
arches
  was erected in 15556o by Pierre Bedel, a French architect. Teruel has several good hospitals and asylums for the aged and children, an institute, a training school for teachers, primary schools, a public library, an
athenaeum
 , a meteorological station, and a large prison. The see was created in 1577, and forms
part
  of the archiepiscopal province of
Saragossa
 .
