The Jalón River plains
A place of the Luna lordship, Terrer dominates the plain of the river Jalón from a promontory on which the Muslims built a rectangular castle in the 9th century, surrounded by a double defensive enclosure – which has now almost disappeared – and which was conquered bya the Cid Campeador in 1081, according to the Cantar de mío Cid (Song of the Cid).
But the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin is the monument that takes the greatest prominence.x The overall sobriety that characterizes the temple after a deep transformation in Baroque period, makes stand out its tower preserved of the original building of mudéjar style. The interior of the 14th century has been decorated with elements such as the traditional Islamic arches and the agrammilated decoration, with a theme that is fully related to the decoration of the churches of Tobed, Cervera de la Cañada and Torralba de Ribota.

The open Muslim quarter, home of trades linked to the landscape
La construcción de la iglesia data de los siglos XIV y XV y la torre mudéjar que se alza unida al lado sur del promontorio del templo se ha fechado alrededor del año 1400. This square tower is built with two superimposed brick bodies: the lower one -with stairs- of Hispanic minaret structure and the upper one intended to house the body of bells, topped with a spire. The lower body concentrates the decorative work in highlighted brick and ceramic.
Historically Terrer was a land of weaver’s and had an activity linked to the manufacture of bricks and other pieces designed for the moldings of covers, vaults, etc., a craft work of the Mudéjar. Already in a document of 1496 it is mentioned that in the furnaces of Terrer “rejolas of Zaragoza mold” are manufactured.
Terrer is also notable for its cellars dug out of the clay hills and sandstone terraces, and also has several stalls scattered throughout the municipality, such as San Antonio de Padua, San Juan or San Jorge, and the old sugar factory in the district of the station.
