En primer lugar como Aragonés, recordar eso de... TERUEL TAMBIEN EXISTE

GANADORA en Concurso Fotografico Semanal del Grupo VIVO POR LA FOTOGRAFIA (Semana 50 año 2010)
ELEGIDA como mejor del mes del Grupo My Friends Galleries (Junio año 2011)

Albarracín posee un casco histórico medieval de gran belleza, fruto de su dilatada historia y de su importancia como villa fronteriza, pero además toda la población, hoy en día, aún conserva la doble muralla que lo protegía, así como el Castillo y los torreones del Andador y de doña Blanca.
Antes de poseer estas murallas, tuvo un castillo a cuyos pies comenzó a crecer la localidad, lo que llevó a construir las murallas a partir del siglo X, ampliándose en la centuria posterior. De hecho, éstas son las que se pueden observar, si bien parcialmente rehechas en épocas posteriores.
La razón para que estas murallas se hayan conservado tan bien a lo largo de la historia, se debe a que tras la reconquista cristiana, la ciudad pasó a formar parte del Reino de Aragón, y posteriormente en el siglo XIV a la Corona de Aragón, convirtiéndose así en zona fronteriza con Castilla, lo que obligaba a mantener el amurallamiento en buenas condiciones.
En realidad, el sistema defensivo de Albarracín, lo componían tres fortalezas: el castillo Principal, el del Andador y el Torreón de Doña Blanca, a los que se sumaban dos recintos cerrados por las murallas. El recinto amurallado de menor tamaño se correspondería con el poblamiento musulmán, mientras que el segundo recinto amurallado es posterior, incluyendo en su interior parte del monte de la localidad.

As we say in Aragon... TERUEL ALSO EXISTS
HDR one exprosure.

WINNER in the week CONTEST in group VIVO POR LA FOTOGRAFIA

SELECT with the best of moth in Group My Friends Galleries (June 2011)

Albarracín possesses a historical medieval hull of great beauty, fruit of your extensive history and of your importance as frontier villa, but in addition the whole population, nowadays, still preserves the double wall that was protecting it, as well as the Castle and the towers of the Walker and of dona Blanca.
Before possessing these walls, it had a castle to whose feet the locality began to grow, which led to constructing the walls from the 10th century, being extended in the later century. In fact, these are those who can be observed, though partially re-done in later epochs.
The reason in order that these walls have remained so well along the history, owes to that after the Christian reconquest, the city happened to form a part of the Kingdom of Aragon, and later in the 14th century to the Wreath of Aragon, turning this way into frontier zone with Castile, which the amurallamiento was forcing to support in good conditions.
Actually, Albarracín's defensive system, three fortresses were composing it: the Principal castle, that of the Walker and Dona Blanca's Tower, to that two enclosures closed by the walls were adding. The enclosure walled of minor size would correspond with the Moslem poblamiento, whereas the second walled enclosure is later, including in your interior report of the mount of the locality.
