Church of San Martín de Tours, Belchite, Church ruin in Belchite Viejo, Zaragoza, Spain

The Church of San Martín de Tours in Belchite is a ruined Gothic-Mudéjar building with a single nave and a polygonal apse, raised in the 16th century. Its square tower, attached to the south side, has an Almohad minaret structure with a central pillar and three levels: the second shows zigzag, chevron and diamond motifs in brick, while the third, the bell chamber, is topped by a pyramidal roof.

The building was constructed in the early 15th century and underwent significant alterations between 1550 and 1560 that transformed its appearance. During the Spanish Civil War, it suffered severe destruction from combat in the region.

The tower displays a mix of Christian and Islamic design language visible in its geometric patterns. This blend reflects centuries when different cultural traditions coexisted in the region.

The site is located in Belchite Viejo, the old town center, where the ruins stand in the open air and are accessible on foot. Best visited in good daylight to see the stone details and masonry patterns on the tower clearly.

The grounds were deliberately left unrepaired after 1938 to preserve the scars of the conflict. This makes Belchite a rare example of an entire town kept as a memorial to the destruction of war.
