Montornés Castle

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.
