CASTELL DE CABRES

NATURAL CHARM

Castell de Cabres is one of the tiniest and highest towns of Valencia. From its 1,137 meters above sea level, the entrance to La Tinença de Benifassà allows us to take in vast and breathtaking views.

Its streets bring to light the passage of time and its main square treasures two points of great interest. Firstly, La Font de la Vila, the local fountain standing out for its outstanding Romanesque-inspired arches. It has always been the water supply of the town. Secondly, it stands out its church consecrated to Saint Laurent. L’Església de Sant Llorenç dates to the 18th century, with three naves and three bays and a quadrangular-shaped bell tower. Inside, the highlights are the Baroque paintings of the 18th century, with vivid colours.

The town was protected by the castle at the top of the hill, declared Asset of Cultural Interest. Currently, it has almost completely disappeared.

Sant Cristòfol church, from the 16 th century, can be found only by walking 5 km while
enjoying the views of the lush forests of Castell de Cabres and Herbeset.
