Tips from the Community
It is considered one of the most beautiful villages in the region. It currently has 350 inhabitants. Its old town has been considered a good of cultural interest since 1982. All points of interest are centered around the square: the Church of the Purification, the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Cid, the Town Hall (with towers from the Templar era), the Portal of San Pablo, the house of Blinque, and the Matutano-Daudén palace. I recommend going to the tourist office and asking for the map with the basic route. It can be covered in 30 minutes to 2 hours. If you want more, the guided tour opens the doors of the buildings. Being at an altitude of 1,300m, it is easy to visit in summer. In winter, it is cold and access to these high parts of the Maestrazgo can be difficult.

La Iglesuela del Cid is a town brimming with character, located in the heart of the Maestrazgo region of Teruel at an altitude of over 1,200 meters. Its historic center preserves a distinct medieval atmosphere with remains of walls, gateways, and stately mansions such as the Matutano-Daudén Palace, now an inn. Also noteworthy are the Church of the Purificación and the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Cid, both linked to the tradition of El Campeador. Cycling through its cobbled streets and surrounding countryside allows you to discover the dry-stone architecture typical of the area, with old huts and walls that still mark the landscape.
