Church of San Martín del Río

Monument · San Martín del Río, Jiloca, Teruel

The church of San Martín Obispo, whose tower on the plaza Mayor combines a first Gothic masonry stage with four octagonal brick stages raised between 1600 and 1606, is a late Gothic temple built between the 16th and 18th centuries. It has a single nave of four bays with a star-ribbed vault and side chapels in the same style, and in the 18th century it was enriched with green and white stucco decoration of Rococo character. It houses an organ built in 1755 by Silvestre Thomas in his workshop in Zaragoza, restored since 1988; it is the centrepiece of the summer concerts of the Curso de Música Antigua de Daroca, held since 1979 in tribute to the organist Pablo Bruna, the blind man of Daroca.
