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 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.

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.

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.
