Architectural description
Iglesia torre de El Salvador, Teruel
The tower adopts the tower-door typology, open with a simple ribbed vault in its lower part to let the street through and thus favor communication. This typology is frequent in military architecture but not in religious architecture, as it happens in the four bell-towers-gate of Teruel in a singular way.
“Light acts as a shaper and determinant of structures. The architectural volumes lose weight, dematerializing the walls that, in Aragonese Mudejar architecture, incorporate the chromatic and shimmering impact of ceramics and the abstract decoration of highlighted brick, fluttering in pure luminous vibration” G.M. Borras Gualis.
