Albocàsser, in the Alt Maestrat region, is a very old town, founded in no less than 1239 and in its upper part contains the most interesting points for a visit to its urban area. There you can find in the main square the Parish Church of the Assumption, built in a severe Baroque style on the original Gothic temple and which preserves an altarpiece and interesting examples of goldsmithing inside.
Another architectural treasure that has survived the passage of time is the hermitage of Santos Juanes, from the end of the 13th century, a simple and rustic temple with a lot of charm that you should not miss the opportunity to visit if you are sightseeing in Albocàsser. A little further away is the hermitage and inn of Sant Pau, built between the 16th and 17th centuries and with a beautiful façade with a bell tower. Neighbors come to it in pilgrimage and celebrate traditional dances.
Continuing with the list of things to do in Albocàsser, we cannot fail to remind you that its municipal area is part of the Valltorta-Gasulla Cultural Park, which protects shelters with cave paintings. In addition to these interesting relics of the past, you can go hiking in places such as the Barranco de les Calçades, the Mas de les Llomes, the Font del Bosq, els Tolls, Las Devesas and the Barranc de la Selda and a good number of routes further.
Finally, you can buy high-quality local olive oil or taste their sweets made with almonds. And don't leave without trying their grilled meats, the typical pot or their heavenly coca!
