Islamic origins between the 10th and 12th centuries. After the Christian conquest by James I in 1233, the king granted the castle and the title of baron to the knight Ximén d'Urrea. It was a key military fortress for controlling the Tinença d’Alcalatén, and underwent renovations in the 15th and 16th centuries under Christian rule. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest on May 30, 2000 (code RI-51-0010535).

Here is detailed information about Alcalatén Castle (also called Castle of l’Alcalatén or Castle of San Salvador), located in L’Alcora (Castellón): It is located on the slope of Mount San Cristóbal (or San Salvador), about 3km north of L’Alcora, accessible by the CV-190 road towards Lucena del Cid, at an elevation of about 370m above sea level, overlooking the valley and the river of l’Alcora.

Old village, but not much going on.

The renovation is now complete and you can go into the castle again. (October 2024)

It's nice there, it's currently being renovated (March 2024).

Unfortunately the castle is currently closed due to construction work.

As you get closer to Vilafamés, you can see the town at the top, on a hill. Vilafamés stands out for its old quarter. Strolling through its streets calmly, transports us to its Arab origins with narrow and zigzag streets, with corners that make you marvel, with its castle at the top and the small church at its feet. With the Christian expansion, Vilafamés began to grow by building its impressive parish church and its 15th century palace. Here the streets are linear. Its impressive “ROCA GROSSA”, a stone grindstone that is found as you go up the main street of Vilafamés, attracts attention. What is most surprising, without a doubt, is that throughout the old neighborhood of Vilafamés, its rock stone predominates in all the buildings. The historical complex of Vilafamés was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2005.

Municipality of the Alto Maestrazgo region, in the province of Castellón (Valencian Community). The place name comes from Arabic, and refers to the Berber tribe of the Zenatas. The abundant archaeological remains of the place explain its long history, from Iberian ceramics to the Arab castle and medieval walls. The remains of the medieval walls and the castle of Adzaneta, or the Torre de la Presó, form part of its cultural heritage. The current town hall, formerly a hospital and Palace of the Commander of the Setena Culla during the 16th century, is also a historic building.
