Years: 1492–1833

Teruel, a city since 1347, built the Traída de las Aguas with the aqueduct of Los Arcos, raised between 1537 and 1558, and saw its parish church of Santa María become a cathedral. In 1572 the army of the Duke of Segorbe entered the city over the Alteraciones, and from 1808 to 1813 the French occupied it and blew up convents and civil buildings. In 1833 it was chosen as provincial capital.
