Territory Dinopolis
Add to my travelTerritory Dinópolis has its headquarters in the city of Teruel but is also hosted in seven small branches spread over seven towns all over Teruel province: Peñarroya de Tastavins, Galve, Rubielos de Mora, Castellote, Albarracín, Riodeva and Ariño.
Teruel Dinópolis. Get ready to step back in time 4.5 billion years and discover the lives of the most extraordinary creatures that have inhabited the planet … Dinosaurs! Its fantastic world, its life and its extinction. A unique stage in the history of the Earth that will catch your spirit by its beauty and mystery.
Take the chance to observe a tyrannosaurus mother, follow the paths of the Paleosenda and, if you are going with kids, take them to the Sauriopark and the Rocajuegos. You can get back on track after eating at the Pangea restaurant or at the Lintel Inn and acquire some souvenirs at the Dinotienda.
Inhospitak (Peñarroya de Tastavins). Here was the original Tastavinsaurus Sanzi fossil, from which you can see an impressive 17-meter-size real-life replica
Legendark (Galve). Here you will see the original remains of the Aragosaurus,an 18 meters long and 20 tons weight Sauropod. You will also discover a nest of dinosaur pups found out in Galve and original remains of other species found here. You will learn how dinosaur bones are prepared once extracted from the site.
Amber Region (Rubielos de Mora). You will discover insects that were trapped in the resin of the trees more than 100 million years ago and that have reached our days, and you will learn the techniques used by paleontologists to classify fossils.
Stone Forest (Castellote). Paleography will reveal here the mysteries on Earth, when dinosaurs and mammals lived together 125 million years ago. A carboniferous forest, fossil deposits and spectacular audiovisual works complete the offer at this center.
Mar Nummus (Albarracín). Crocodiles, sponges, ammonites and the largest known predator, the Liopleurodon, a giant reptile that inhabited the seas during the Jurassic, are awaiting you in the Sierra de Albarracín. There they lived 150 million years ago, when these lands were occupied by the Tethys Sea, precursor of the Mediterranean Sea.
Titania (Riodeva). Here you can see a life-size replica of the skeleton of the Turiasaurus Riodevensis, the largest dinosaur in Europe, found in this town. In addition, you can learn from the rocks and strata of Riodeva, what the landscape looked like where dinosaurs lived.
