Take a pleasant stroll around the city, walk down narrow cobbled streets...home to historic buildings, turn the corner and will find modern city streets, bustling with life and culture.

Once a farmstead, beneath the Moorish castle of Fadrell, Castellon was conquered in 1233 by James I. As years went on the city grew and with it the defences. Castellon was surrounded by a moat, walls were built along with huge towers, and a church was planned for the dwellers within. The city continued to expand and eventually the people had to tear down the wall to make room for new homes. In the 19th century, as the city started to grow again hospitals and theatres were erected and modernisation of the city began.

Take a stroll to Ribalta Park, filled with exotic fauna and flora, you will also find peace and tranquility here. Every year in Spain there are many festivals and fairs, Castellon is no different. The Crafts and Alternative Lifestyles Fair is held in the every year coinciding with the fiestas of the Magdalena. The park itself is located within the modern part of town and is surrounded by new buildings, shopping centers and monuments.

Visit the beautiful gothic Catedral de Santa María built back in the 13th century, the cathedral was almost totally destroyed by fire. In the 1900's reconstruction started and the cathedral once again looks grand, although building continues.
