Place of pilgrimage par excellence in the province

Municipality of the Alt Maestrat region, in the province of Castellón (Valencian Community). It is located in the middle of the Penyagolosa massif, limiting to the north with the province of Teruel. The origin of this population is Muslim, since Vistabella belonged to the castle of Culla. Vistabella has witnessed numerous historical events, such as the battle in 1812 against General Suchet during the Spanish war of independence, or important episodes of the Carlist wars, becoming the headquarters of the newspaper printing company of the time such as "Vanguardia". or "Flyer of War". Of its heritage, its castle stands out, of which a tower remains and part of the wall and the church of the Assumption, from the 17th century, one of the most important samples of Renaissance art in the Valencian territory. Part of the wall and two of the four entrances to the nucleus, the Forn and San Roc portals, have been preserved. Another important architectural sample is the palace house of Polo, from the 18th century, the prison and palace of King Pedro the Ceremonious, from the 14th century, the hermitage of San Antonio, from the 18th century.

Population of the Alcalatén region, in the province of Castellón (Valencian Community), very popular as a hiking and cycling destination, due to its proximity to the Penyagolosa National Park. The origin of Xodos is Arab, and after the Reconquest, King Jaume I granted the lordship to the Aragonese nobleman Ximén de Urrea. The cultural heritage of Xodos includes the parish church of San Pedro Mártir, from the 17th century, which has a nave with three altars and a bell tower, and the castle and walls of Xodos. It is believed that the whole municipality was surrounded by a wall, of which now only the tower of homage remains. The geographical location of Xodos, perched on a rock mass on a precipice above the Alcalatén river valley, was of great strategic importance. The fortification allowed the defense of one of the natural routes that communicated with Aragon.
