The Comarca de la Sierra de Albarracín is in an area formerly known locally as Tierra de Albarracín, roughly corresponding to the ancient Señorío de Albarracín feudal manor.[1] Its capital is Albarracín, a town surrounded by stony hills that was declared Monumento Nacional in 1961.[2]
This mountainous comarca is named after the Sierra de Albarracín, the main mountain range in this area of the Sistema Ibérico (Iberian System) of mountain ranges.[3] The comarca includes other mountain ranges of the Sistema Ibérico also, foremost of which are the Montes Universales.
