The town hall of Castellón (Castellón)

The building has a classicist style and has three floors which lie on a porch with seven arches leaning on Corinthian pilasters. Its façade has three balconies which are noteworthy and inside the building, the assembly hall with interesting frescos are also remarkable.

 

Peñíscala, Historical and Artistic tour of the City

A route outlining the cities streets shows the importance the municipality has had in the past. The defensive installations, and the state of conservation of homes illustrate the purely technical ability of the most important military architect and engineer of the time, the Italian Juan Bautista Antonelli.

 

Vilfames

An incomparable stage sets Vilafamés amongst olive and almond trees. Its orography has influenced to such an extent in the structure of the municipality that some of the houses have been built onto the mountain. The peculiarities of the municipality and the beauty of the surrounding area have converted it into the chosen destiny of many artists. Today, Vilafamés maintains its charm, rural and alive its marked cultural roots have given it a special and distinguished air.

 

Town of Morella (Morella)

Morella has innumerable reasons to be visited. All of the major civilisations - Iberians, Celts, Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians and Arabs - have left their mark on the capital of the “Els Ports” region, where Bronze Age Neolithic remains have also been found. The city was built at the foot of the castle, and is surrounded by a stout wall. Its privileged enclave, portico streets, Manorial homes, enchanting locations and rich cultural patrimony are just some of the motives that have resulted in it being declared a Historical Artistic Site. These lands were inhabited approximately 60 million years ago by the dinosaurs, and now aspire to become Patrimony to Humanity.
