The hermitage of La Magdalena is carved into the rock. The portico was built in the 15th century (1455), the chapel in 1456 and the stable at the end of the same century. In 1758, the master Vicente Pellicer gave it its current design as a hermitage, hostel and attached tower.

The Castell Vell, on the Magdalena Hill, is a fortress of Andalusian origin. Although it has been inhabited since the Neolithic period, it acquired its great importance as the cradle of the city of Castelló.
