Text description provided by the architects. The Lovers Square was not exactly a square but the void caused by the bombing of the Civil War that devastated the city. However, it was attempted throughout the postwar period, and with varying degrees of success, to turn that void into a square relying on its central location and the dominant presence of the iconic San Pedro Tower, which before the war, like the other Mudejar towers of Teruel, had been built between houses and on the street, like a tower-door wall. But this situation had drastically changed with the bombing, as the tower was isolated on one of its sides, allowing its view from the bottom of the void that was the location for the new square.
