Teruel Cathedral in Spain was restructured by Juzaff in the later 13th century. Juan Lucas Botero designed the 1537 lantern, which Martín de Montalbán built in 1538, and Pau Monguió designed the 1909 facade. The church became a collegiate church in 1423 and a cathedral in 1587. The infobox gives 1171 as groundbreaking. The text says work began then and ended with the tower in 1257, but also says tower construction began in 1257.
The article calls the style Mudéjar, with Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Plateresque and Neo-Mudéjar elements. It uses masonry, brick, azulejos and glazed ceramic tile. The Mudéjar ceiling is about 105 feet (32 m) long.
Around 1700 the apse area became an ambulatory, and an 18th-century false ceiling protected the ceiling paintings. It was listed as a monument in 1931 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986. It is an active Catholic cathedral. The article gives no hours.
