Alacón is a municipality located in the province of Teruel, Aragon, Spain. According to the 2004 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 470 inhabitants, and is at an altitude of 704 meters. The village has an important military tower called “Torre de los Moros”. The tower was built by the Moors and is square with a pyramidal front elevation. It takes us back to the time of reconquest battles and is one of the oldest towers in the province.
The 18th century parish church is dedicated to the Assumption. It has three naves and a dome which has pendentives with bas-relief decoration. The 16th century gothic-renaissance style hermitage dedicated to El Calvario (Calvary) and the restored 17th century hermitage dedicated to San Miguel (St. Michael) are found on a promontory. The Paleontological Discovery Centre is a very interesting place to learn about Musterian culture, characteristic of the mid-Paleolithic period (between 50,000 and 35,000 BC).
