Its wide and levelled Gothic nave with rib vaults and side chapels show us that it is a very old church although it was redesigned with peculiar Churrigueresque motives in 1741.
The tower dates from the middle of the XIII Century and on its ground floor we find the usual pointed arch.
In the decoration, we should highlight the freize of interlaced round arches, the trumpet- shaped windows framed by square arched doorway as well as the green and purple ceramics.
The great altarpiece in Renaissance style, by Joli, is similar to the one of the cathedral and the apse is polygonal and in Mudéjar style.
In one of the attached chapels are located the famous mummies of the Teruel lovers, whose remains are under the alabaster sculptures by Juan Ávalos.

Although it originally comes from the first Romasnesque Centuries, it was enlarged in the XIII, and three centuries later became Cathedral.
It has a Mudéjar bell tower and a beautiful dome with coloured tiles. Outside the temple, the square Mudéjar tower from 1257 should be highlighted. It has three bodies that are decorated with ceramics, and belongs to the model tower- door. A very important work in the Teruel art and is one of the first monuments of the Mudéjar art from Aragón.
Inside, it is divided into three naves. The main one is a Juzaff´ s work of art, a Moor from Zaragoza who substituted the Romanesque apses for other Gothic- Mudéjar apses. It is covered by a beautiful coffered ceiling which is 32 meters length and comes from the XIV Century. This central nave has a double dome from 1538 and the side naves are covered by rib vaults.
The temple is decorated with important polychrome paintings, with wooden roofs, and a beautiful grille in the Major Chapel and the choir.
The Major Altar is Plateresque. The altarpiece is from 1532 and was made by Gabriel Juli. The baptistery belongs to the XVIII Century and is decorated with glazed tiles painted with religious scenes.
