Villarroya de los Pinares is a municipality located in the Maestrazgo[2] region, province of Teruel, Aragon, Spain.

It is in the northern part of the Gúdar mountain range next to the Guadalope River at an altitude of 1,337 meters and at a distance of 51 km from the provincial capital, Teruel on the A-226 road.

For decades, the municipality has experienced a gradual depopulation of its territory, in parallel to the aging of its inhabitants, as has happened in so many other places of mainly agricultural and livestock vocation, located in the plateaus and mountain ranges of inland Spain.

The municipality's Gothic church, built-in 1459 and dedicated to the Virgen de la Asunción, has a remarkable polygonal apse and a porticoed gallery.

Also, in the vicinity of this, is the castle in ruins that belonged to James I of Aragón, King of Aragon, Count of Barcelona, and Lord of Montpellier.
