A landmark of Teruel's Mudejar heritage, safeguarding the city's history and art, and home to the legend of the Lovers of Teruel.
Saint Peter's Church and its impressive tower are open to the public. In general, you can visit from Tuesday to Sunday, usually from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., although it is wise to check the exact opening hours on the official website of the Teruel Museum or by calling +34 978 61 80 56, as they may vary depending on the season or special events.
Yes, visiting the church and, especially, accessing the tower and the Mausoleum of the Lovers of Teruel requires an admission ticket. The standard price is usually around €5–6, with discounts for students, retirees, youth card holders, and groups. I recommend checking the Saint Peter Teruel website for updated prices and possible promotions for a complete experience.
To fully enjoy the church, the cloister, the Mausoleum of the Lovers, and the climb up Saint Peter's Tower, I suggest allowing between 60 and 90 minutes. This will let you admire the architecture, history, and views without rushing, even if you decide to use our audio tour, which would make everything much easier.
Saint Peter's Church is a key landmark in Teruel because of its exceptional Mudejar style, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It houses the Mausoleum of the Lovers of Teruel, the tragic love story of Diego de Marcilla and Isabel de Segura, which gives it deep cultural and emotional value. In addition, its tower is one of the finest examples of Aragonese Mudejar art and a privileged viewpoint.
For a quieter experience, I recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon, especially outside the high season of July and August. Spring and autumn usually offer more pleasant weather and fewer tourists, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the Mudejar tower and the church interior more peacefully.
Saint Peter's Church has partial access for people with reduced mobility, especially the main nave and the Mausoleum of the Lovers. However, access to the tower is usually difficult because of the stairs. I recommend contacting them directly at +34 978 61 80 56 for detailed information about accessibility options and to plan your visit in the best way possible.
Teruel is full of treasures. Very nearby, you should not miss Torico Square, Teruel Cathedral of Saint Mary, also Mudejar and a World Heritage Site, or the Provincial Museum of Teruel. Dinópolis is also a short distance away if you are traveling with children. The city is very compact, so you will be able to walk to many places. For more ideas, visit the Teruel City Council website.
Of course, here are a couple of tips: wear comfortable shoes if you plan to climb the tower and, if you are interested in history, consider using an audio guide like ours. It will provide facts and curiosities that will greatly enrich your experience. Also, do not forget your camera: the views from the tower are spectacular, and the Mudejar beauty of the complex is well worth capturing.
