Concud
A rural district of Teruel since 1928, the origins of the village of Concud date back to Roman times when it was called Urbiaca. A predominantly agricultural and livestock-farming area, in the past industrial activity here was focused on plaster and espadrille production. Perhaps the village's most famous son Lope de Concut, secretary to King Alfonso IV. Due to its proximity to Teruel and its orography, it was the scene of intense fighting during the Spanish Civil War.
Its architectural heritage is concentrated around the Church of San Martín de Tous, rebuilt in 1743, and the Shrine of Santa Bárbara, which sits atop Santa Bárbara Hill, and was rebuilt after being destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
Archaeological heritage of great importance in Concud, with several archaeological sites: Barranco de las Maravillas and Barranco de las Calaveras ravines, La Garita Hill and the Aljezares de la Solana caves. Many valuable fossils have been found there, such as the prehistoric horse (Hipparion concudense), depicted on a ceramic mural near the church.
Local festivals take place during the second fortnight of August in honour of the patron saints San Martín and Santa Bárbara.
