Villafranca del Campo
Village
Villafranca del Campo is a municipality in the Jiloca district, in the province of Teruel, situated at 956 metres above sea level, between the Sierra Menera and the Jiloca river depression, with a halt on the Zaragoza-Sagunto line. In 1248, by privilege of James I, it broke away from Daroca to join the Comunidad de Aldeas de Daroca, a regime that lasted until 1838. Its parish church of San Juan Bautista stands out; construction began in 1731, and it is one of the most notable Baroque buildings in the district. It also preserves manor houses and the hermitages of the Virgen del Campo and the Virgen de los Dolores. It celebrates its festivities in honour of the Virgen del Campo on the first weekend of August. It has 290 inhabitants (INE 2025).
Spring of Cella
Nature
Source of the river Jiloca, formed by a large elliptical artesian well located in the Teruel town of Cella, with a perimeter of 130 metres and a depth of between 9 and 11.5 metres, from which an average flow of about 3,500 litres per second gushes. Built in the 12th century, it was ornamented between 1729 and 1731 by the engineering captain Domingo Ferrari, and is surrounded by an ashlar parapet, with a hermitage dedicated to Saint Clement next to the water outlet. Three irrigation channels run from the spring, watering seven villages, including Villafranca del Campo. During the 18th century the stretch between Cella and Monreal del Campo was channelled, after the draining of the Cañizar lagoon of Villarquemado. It has been listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) since 1983.
