The lovers' bodies were discovered during an 1858 renovation of the Church of San Pedro.
Juan de Ávalos, who sculpted the tomb's effigies, also worked on the monument at the Valley of the Fallen.
The museum complex integrates the church, the cloisters, the Andador Tower, and the mausoleum into a single architectural path.
Scientific analysis conducted in the early 2000s confirmed the remains belong to two individuals who lived in the 13th century.
The church contains a hidden Mudejar-style tower that is among the oldest in Teruel.
The Mausoleum of the Amantes houses the 13th-century mummified remains of Juan de Diego and Isabel de Segura, the central figures of a famous Teruel tragic romance. Located within the Church of San Pedro, the site features a modernist museum space designed by Alejandro Zaera-Polo and Miren Ulibarri. The marble effigies depicting the lovers were sculpted by Juan de Ávalos in 1955. The museum displays historical artifacts, archival documents, and a collection of Renaissance paintings. Visitors access the crypt via the cloisters of the Mudejar-style church, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The site serves as the focal point for the annual 'Las Bodas de Isabel de Segura' festival held each February.

Purchase a combined ticket that includes entry to the Mudejar bell tower for a comprehensive view of the city.
Look for the smaller, less crowded entrance to the church cloisters if visiting during a festival period.
Check the official website for guided tour availability, as they provide context missing from static displays.
Avoid visiting during the 'Las Bodas de Isabel' festival weekend unless you intend to participate in the reenactments, as the area becomes extremely congested.
Open daily throughout the year, but may have adjusted access during local religious holidays and the February festival.
Maintain a respectful, quiet demeanor as the site contains human remains.
