Montornés Castle sits on Roman remains. Built in the 10th century as part of a Moorish defence system, the castle was reinforced and extended by the Christians after the Reconquista.
The castle is composed of three areas surrounded by a curtain wall and forms a triangle with Torre San Vicente and Casoleta de Salandó, two structures that served to further strengthen its defence. In the present-day, only some sections of the wall, cisterns and two watchtowers are standing. It is not known exactly how and when the fortress was destroyed, though it is known that it was inhabited until the 15th century.
There are beautiful views over the Plana (Plain) of Castellón and the Mediterranean Sea.
References:The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.
The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.
The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
