Albarracín, in the Crown of Aragon from 1300, was officially called "Ciudad de Santa María de Albarracín" until the 19th century. It had its first bishop of its own, Martín de Salvatierra (1578 to 1583), with the diocese split from that of Segorbe, and built its cathedral of the Saviour from 1572. The alcázar was occupied until the end of the 16th century and was destroyed in the 18th after the War of the Spanish Succession.
