Abstract
Dated to late 12th and early 13th centuries, the Cathedral of Teruel is a complex building whose greatest treasure is the Mudejar roof that covers the central space, declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1986. There are some basic unknown facts about this roof, such as who built it, how, when or what it represents. There are many theories that attempt to clarify these uncertainties, but there is not much historical documentation available. During the years 2008 and 2009, a restoration of the church was conducted and part of the roof and walls remained uncovered for a short period of time. Using that temporal and unique chance, a wide stratigraphical and building analysis of the central nave walls and their joints with the roof was carried out. Thanks to this work, some important results have been discovered concerning the modifications suffered by the building. At the same time, other evidences help to further going within the knowledge of the form of the church at its earliest stages.

Summary
Según Yarza, en Borrás (1999), el campanario data de 1257 y se considera el último elemento construido de la primitiva iglesia románica. Para poder llevar a cabo este estudio ha sido necesaria una sistematización en la toma de datos consistente en varias fotografías de cada elemento, selección de tomas, rectificación fotogramétrica de cada tabica, canecillo y tabla y montaje de todas las imágenes en su posición correspondiente con el fin de plasmar los aleros en el papel sin fugas ni deformaciones
