By Sabrina
35. History
The first known building in the area was the Moorish castle of Fadrell, near the
Alqueries de La Plana. The town proper was officially founded in 1251, after
the conquest of the Moorish Kingdom of Valencia by King James I of Aragon in 1233.
James granted royal permission to move the town from the mountain to the plain on
September 8, 1251, and tradition claims that the move was completed by the third
Sunday of Lent, 1252.
During the Middle Ages, the city was protected by moats, walls and towers, and
a church was built, later becoming a cathedral.
In the 17th century the town was one of the last strongholds in the Revolta de les
Germanies (local guilds). It also supported Archduke Charles of Austria in the War of
the Spanish Succession(1701–14), but was later taken by the troops of Philip
d'Anjou.
In the 19th century, the city walls were torn down and it slowly began to expand, a
process interrupted by the War of Independence against Napoleon(1804–14) and
the Carlist Wars (1833–63). In 1833 Castelló became the capital of the newly
constituted province. In the second half of the 19th century, the city again began to
expand, marked by the arrival of the railway, the enlargement of the port and the
construction of representative buildings (Provincial Hospital, Casino, Theater)
and parks.
In 1991 a university (Jaume I University) was established, set upon a
modern campus. The local economy is based on industry, tourism and craft-work
36. Most of the historical buildings are located in the
diminutive old town, around the Plaça Major (Main
Square). These include:
The Gothic Concatedral de Santa Maria (co-
cathedral of Saint Mary), built in the 13th century
and reconstructed one century later after destruction
by fire. The present building is another
reconstruction after the demolition ordered by the
council during the Spanish civil war
(1936).The Ajuntament (City Hall), erected at the
beginning of the 18th century. It features a
pretty Tuscan-style façade rising up over
a colonnade.
The standing alone bell-tower of the procathedral,
known as El Fadrí (the single man), built in the 15th
century.
37. The Llotja del Cànem (Hemp Exchange Market), built
during the first half of the 17th century to be used by
traders in hempen cloth and ropes, a very important
activity in the area at the time. Today the building is used
by the University for cultural events and temporary
exhibitions.
On the northeast edge of the town, at the end of a broad
avenue decorated with orange trees, stands the Basílica
of Santa Maria del Lledó (EuropeanHackberry or Celtis
australis), a basilica devoted to an image of the Virgin
Mary found in 1366 by a farmer when he was ploughing
his lands. The original 14th-century chapel was extended
to its present Baroque form during the 16th century. The
complex is surrounded by a landscaped garden.
