Civil architecture:
Testimonies of the History of Castielfabib

The civil architecture of Castielfabib transports us through the centuries with buildings that reflect its medieval past and historical evolution. Every corner of its historic center offers a glimpse into its rich heritage, from traditional houses to its monumental fortifications.

Castielfabib Castle

Dominating the town from Mount Fabio, the castle is a vestige of Roman origin that was expanded during the Muslim rule. During the Middle Ages, it was a key element in the defense of the region. Today, its ruins evoke the grandeur of its past.

More information

They dominate the population, from the so-called Mount Fabius, The remains of a castle whose foundations are considered Roman. This castle of Roman origin was expanded during the Muslim rule, becoming the most important in the Rincón region during the Middle Ages.

During the First Carlist War (1833-1840), it was held by the Carlist side, but was dynamited by Nationalist troops when they captured the town. Its archaeological remains were excavated by the archaeologist Juan José Barragán. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) by the Valencian Government.

Casa de la Villa

En esta imagen de inicios del siglo XX, se puede ver el aspecto que presententaba este edificio, con una reforma clasicista que habia cambiado la configuración de la fachada cegando los arcos de medio punto en planta baja y añadiendo unas arquerias de yeso en fachadada. Cabe destacar el acceso independiente a las dos alturas del edificio, así como la ubicación del calabozo en la parte trasera del inmueble.

This early 20th-century photograph shows the building's appearance after a Neoclassical renovation that altered the facade by blocking the semicircular arches on the ground floor and adding plaster arcades. Of particular note is the separate entrance to each of the building's two floors, as well as the location of the jail at the rear of the property.

Located in the main square, this emblematic 15th-century building features a Renaissance loggia on its ground floor and a decorated wooden coffered ceiling inside. Currently under restoration, it remains a symbol of the town's splendor.

More information

The Town Hall is a 15th-16th century building that corresponds to the market hall typology, very common throughout the Crown of Aragon, with an open-plan ground floor accessible from the outside through several arches where trade and the exchange of goods took place. The upper floor houses the main hall where, during the period of the town's charter, the leading citizens met to discuss and address matters affecting the population, administer justice, and so on. The most striking features of the building are the trompe-l'œil murals and the coffered ceiling on the main floor. Its location as the main building in the Plaza de la Villa (Town Square) is justified once the town lost its defensive function and was restructured in a different way, creating a flat, open space as the nerve center and seat of power for Castielfabib, far removed from the power that had resided in the Castle decades earlier.

Molino de la Villa

Located on the banks of the Ebrón River, this old mill is situated in a natural setting of great beauty, offering a testament to the importance of hydraulic activity in the region.

More information

History:

The first reference to a mill in the Castielfabib area dates back to the Christian conquest of this territory in 1210, when King Peter "the Catholic" granted a privilege to the order of San Juan del Hospital to establish mills within the district. This first mill was built and remained under the control of the Crown for some years, until this service, along with the kilns, was leased to the municipality in the time of Alfonso "the Liberal", in the year 1288.

During the 14th century, more mills were established, granted by the monarchs. From that period, there are also references to the town mill, which was called "molendinum vetus," meaning old mill. In the following centuries, the mill continued to be leased by the municipality until the mid-19th century, when, with the disentailment of church lands, the municipality sold it to private hands. From that moment on, it passed through different owners until it ceased operations in the mid-20th century.

Description:

The mill of the town of Castielfabib is located on the right bank of the Ebrón River, near the road that traditionally led to Teruel, at the point where the Barrioso bridge is located, in a section where the gorges of the Ebrón River begin, with the mill building literally hanging over it.

The main mill building had two stories in addition to the attic, originally with a single-pitched roof facing the riverbed, and the arcades on the lower floor are also noteworthy. It combines traditional materials, such as ordinary and plastered masonry, with modern ones, such as bricks and cement.

Defensive towers and wall remains

Fragments of it can be found in the village centre, among the houses.

More information

From this enclosure, towers have been preserved scattered around the village, reused as dwellings but retaining features of their former defensive use.

At some point in history that has not been precisely determined, the town was walled. Of the entire wall, it appears that three towers remain, in addition to some scattered sections. And the so-called Torrejón, located on the adjacent hill overlooking the town, stands opposite the castle.

During the First Carlist War (1833-1840), it was held by the Carlist side, but was dynamited by Nationalist troops when they captured the town. Its archaeological remains were excavated by the archaeologist Juan José Barragán. It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) by the Valencian Government.

Castielfabib Tunnels: "La Solana" and "La Umbría""

Named "La Solana" and "La Umbría", they were carved during the Dictatorship of Primo de Rivera.

More information

The Castielfabib tunnels are located on the local road that crosses the crags on which the town and the castle-fortress are situated. Depending on their position, they are named as the "La Solana" tunnel (southern) and the "La Umbría" tunnel (northern): the first has an approximate length of 50 meters and the second about 60 meters.

They were carved into the living rock of the mountain using the tools available at the time: picks, shovels, and drills that were placed in the morning and detonated at midday. Besides Castielfabib, the blasts of the cartridges could be heard in Cuesta del Rato and El Cuervo. The residents of the village and surrounding areas worked on their construction, which lasted several months. The shorter La Solana tunnel was opened first, followed by the longer La Umbría tunnel.

Both tunnels are preserved almost exactly as they were originally carved, with few modifications. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), a small perpendicular gallery was opened in the right wall (towards El Cuervo) of the La Solana tunnel as an air-raid shelter; this gallery is now sealed.

Religious Architecture:
Spirituality and History

Castielfabib preserves an impressive legacy of religious architecture that includes churches, convents and hermitages, some of them with centuries of history and great artistic relevance.

Church of Our Lady of the Angels

iglesia-forteleza-Nuestra-Senora-de-los-Angeles-castielfabib2

This fortress-church, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, is a prime example of Gothic and Renaissance art. Its Gothic murals and detached 14th-century bell tower are a delight for art and history lovers.

More information

Located in a unique setting, it is representative of various styles and periods. The original church dates from the beginning of the 14th century, with an interior space featuring pointed transverse arches typical of the late Romanesque or early Gothic periods.

The Church-Fortress of Castielfabib is one of the most representative buildings of the Rincón de Ademuz region. This Gothic church is built within the castle tower, offering a sweeping panoramic view over the Ebrón River valley.

Originally, it served to protect the safety of the population at two of its most important entrances. Of particular note are the significant examples of Gothic mural paintings discovered in the side chapels covered with ribbed vaults during restoration work.

The unique shape of the Church of Our Lady of the Angels meant that burials inside were limited. However, interments within the church were common, as demonstrated by excavations during recent renovations.

The ground floor was known as the Blacksmith's Shop. The first and second floors have been used as warehouses since time immemorial. The top floor must have served as a tithe house, and inscriptions on its walls still reveal this. Between the third and top floors was the parish church, with the entrance through the vaulted passageway.

The church's original floor plan is rectangular, somewhat irregular, consisting of a main chapel with a flat apse, facing east. This architectural style is well-known in the Valencian region for its functionality: the churches built during the conquest of the region. These were erected in towns that were being conquered from Islam in the 13th century, where spaces for Christian worship were needed. Diaphragm arches and wooden roofs were the most effective and common construction techniques. At the rear, there is a door that originally provided access to the bell tower from inside the church, via a staircase adjacent to the main chapel.

The bell tower of Castielfabib follows the most common architectural style in the Rincón de Ademuz region. Furthermore, its early construction set the standard for the main bell towers of the area. The particular fondness of the people of Castielfabib for bells was already evident at that time, as shown in the writings of Bishop Figueroa. Of the four bells housed in the tower, the oldest is Guillermina, dating from 1673, which is currently used for the human ringing of the bells (the most representative tradition of the municipality). On its surface, one can read: SAN GVILLERMO ORA PRO NOBIS ESTA ES LA BOZ DEL ANGEL QVE EN ALTO SVENA AVE MARIA ANO 1673 / S IOHIS…VICENTI…STIONIS DEL GERIX…ISPITUREITANI

Convent of San Guillermo

With a history dating back to the 14th century, this convent was an important religious center occupied by various orders, such as the Augustinians and Franciscans. Although in ruins, it retains its historical essence.

More information

Of what was once the famous convent of San Guillermo de Castielfabib, which was inhabited by various religious orders throughout its dense history, only the pile of ruins remains, as a vestige of what the church was.

Separated from the town by the Ebrón River gorges, it was built at the end of the 16th century by the Carmelites of Aragon. The Convent of San Guillermo is linked to William of Poitiers (1071–1126), Duke of Aquitaine, who supported Alfonso I of Aragon in his military campaigns between 1120 and 1123.

Initially, it was occupied by the Carmelites of Aragon in the 16th century, as the nearest convent to the town, the Hermitage of Gracia, was occupied by the Augustinians. A few years later, it was occupied by the Franciscan Observants of Valencia, who possessed it from 1577 until 1835, when they finally vacated it. In 1576, the convent was built, designed by Tomás Gregori. It was oriented north-south, which is unusual, since the absence of surrounding obstacles would have allowed for a more canonical orientation of the main altar towards the east.

Therefore, the main axis of the church was situated parallel to the Ebrón River and the path that runs alongside it, so that passersby could see the west side of the church. The convent was located along the east and south sides of the church, and the entire complex was surrounded by enclosed gardens. Of that Franciscan church, built on the site of the medieval sanctuary of Saint William, the rectangular sections of the nave can still be distinguished, with its side chapels covered by bricked groin vaults and a square apse open to the nave by a splayed arch. In this way, the Franciscans settled in the place with the greatest symbolic significance, for it was on that side of the river where, according to legend, Saint William had lived as a hermit, done penance in a nearby cave, built the chapel, and, at the end of his life, was finally buried there.

Since then, only the ruins of the convent church remain, with its arcades and chapels on the Epistle and Gospel sides, as well as remnants of the bell tower and part of the facade, which features a Baroque portico, although the church was originally Gothic. Also remaining are the cistern, with its wellhead and washhouse, all made of hewn stone, located southeast of the convent, where the monastery's orchards and farmyards once stood. Today, it is in a state of unstoppable ruin. Of the entire complex, only its chapel is distinguishable today, its walls and few remaining architectural elements hinting at its Franciscan splendor. Another well-preserved element is the wellhead located nearby, surrounded by the monastery's orchard.

Virgen de Gracia Chapel

Dating from the 14th century, this Gothic chapel, now used as the cemetery chapel, stands out for its simplicity and historical value. It is recognized as a Site of Local Interest.

Hermitage of the Immaculate Conception (Cuesta del Rato)

CuestadelRato-ermitaPurisima_20188280_02

Originally built as the "Hermitage of San Diego," it begins to be documented from the 18th century onwards. Due to its proximity and various indications, it is linked to the Convent of San Guillermo de Castielfabib.

More information

Initially, the hermitage must have been a small chapel, built to prevent the locals from having to travel to the town to hear mass.

This hermitage, with three naves and a choir at the foot, houses in its presbytery an image of the Immaculate Conception and a smaller one for Saint Diego of Alcalá.

During the Spanish Civil War, the hermitage was looted and its furnishings and ornamental elements destroyed.

Hermitage of San Sebastián (Mas de Jacinto)

A humble building constructed of masonry with a gabled roof. Inside, a wooden cross stands out, which tradition says came from the Garden of Olives.

Church of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne (Arroyo Cerezo)

Hermitage of San Marcos (Los Santos)

The hermitage dates from the 18th century, although it has been renovated several times, the last one, which gave it its current appearance, taking place in the 1950s.

More information

It is a masonry and stone construction. The entrance to the hermitage is located between two buttresses on one side wall. Attached to it is a single-section bell tower with a pyramidal roof. The bell tower houses two recently cast bells, the bell The Saints, cast in 1991, with a diameter of 56 cm and a weight of 102 kg, and the bell Lucia, cast in 1975, with a diameter of 61 cm and a weight of 131 kg.

This hermitage serves as a parish church and is notable for its slender bell tower.

Archaeological Heritage:
Vestiges of Early Civilisations

The archaeological heritage of Castielfabib allows us to delve into the lives of the ancient cultures that inhabited this land. From cave paintings to Roman fragments, each find tells a part of their history.

Shelter of the Lomas de Abril

El abrigo de las Lomas de Abril es un conjunto de arte rupestre localizado en el centro del barranco de Val del Agua, formando el único conjunto de pinturas levantinas localizado en la comarca del Rincón de Ademuz, y que constituye un testimonio excepcional de las culturas neolíticas en la zona. Estas pinturas están protegidas por la Legislación Estatal y Autonómica, habiendo sido declaradas Bien de Interés Cultural y, desde 1998, forman parte de la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO.

The Lomas de Abril rock shelter is a collection of rock art located in the center of the Val del Agua ravine. It is the only group of Levantine paintings found in the Rincón de Ademuz region and constitutes an exceptional testament to Neolithic cultures in the area. These paintings are protected by national and regional legislation, having been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and, since 1998, have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Castiel-lomasdeAbril-pinturas-rupestres-del-neolitico

Located in El Rodeno, this place houses Neolithic cave paintings, accompanied by archaeological remains and traditional architecture linked to the agricultural world.

More information

The prehistoric paintings we can admire in these rock shelters are the only ones discovered so far in the Rincón de Ademuz region. They belong to the Levantine rock art tradition, estimated to have been painted around 9,000 years ago, and are protected by state and regional legislation, having been declared a BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural - Asset of Cultural Interest). Their discovery dates back to March 2014, by Ricardo Canet García, a member of fire brigade number 18.

In the Corrales de los Fantasmas area, there is a group of traditional buildings that served as temporary residences for farmers at specific times during the agricultural cycle. Also present are interesting archaeological remains: a defensive wall and a collection of stones resembling petroglyphs, presumably used as ovens for the artisanal extraction of juniper oil from the sap.

Votive altar of the Castillejo

Losantos-paisajeRural-ara-votiva-del-castillejo-3

A fragment of a Roman gravestone from the 1st century AD, this piece is tangible evidence of the Roman presence in the region.

More information

The Castillejo votive altar is a carved stone with a Latin inscription from the 1st century AD, discovered in 1955 in the Castillejo area, near Los Santos, a hamlet in Castielfabib, in the province of Valencia, Spain. The find occurred during the construction of a track leading to the hamlet from the N-420 highway. Later, in 1971, the piece was rediscovered and donated to the Museum of Prehistory of Valencia, where it is currently on display.

The altar is made of soft, locally sourced limestone and measures 45 cm high, 29 cm wide, and 18 cm thick. Although it lacks decorative elements and is fragmented, the central section containing the epigraphic inscription is intact. The Latin inscription is dedicated to the goddess Diana and was written by an individual named Lucius Caecilius. This type of offering was common in Roman times, used to express gratitude for favors received or to fulfill promises made to the deities.

The discovery of the votive altar in the Castillejo area suggests the possible existence of a Roman place of worship in the zone, although no further archaeological evidence has been found to confirm this. The toponym "El Castillejo" could indicate the historical presence of a fortified structure or tower at the site. This find is significant, as it represents the only known Roman archaeological evidence in the Castielfabib area, providing valuable information about the presence and activities of the Romans in this region.

The inscription on the altar, being dedicated to Diana, a deity associated with hunting and nature, could reflect the importance of these activities in the daily lives of the Roman inhabitants of the area. The preservation and exhibition of this piece at the Museum of Prehistory of Valencia allow researchers and the general public to appreciate and study this testimony of Roman history in the Valencian Community.

Necropolis of La Nava

Necropolis-de-la-nava-en-el-cerro-morrita

In Corrales de la Nava, northwest of the town, two Iberian necropolises were found —one in Los Corrales and the other in La Umbría— and an Iberian hill fort on the hill of La Morrita, dating from between the 7th century BC and the 4th century BC.

Festivals and traditions of Castielfabib

The intangible heritage of Castielfabib is a living treasure that reflects the cultural identity of its inhabitants through unique celebrations and artistic expressions.

Easter

Holy Week in Castielfabib combines religious and pagan elements with events such as the human ringing of bells and the planting of poplar trees in the square, creating a unique and moving experience.

More information
If there's one Holy Week celebration in the Valencian region of Turia that truly embodies tradition and evokes a sense of bygone days, it's undoubtedly the Holy Week of Castielfabib. These are days when the town embraces the traditions and folklore of its ancestors, with unique and exceptional customs.

The unique aspect of this Easter is undoubtedly the blend of pagan and religious acts in perfect harmony, despite its origin not being sufficiently documented.

Cutting down the poplar trees, planting them in the Plaza, the singing of the Aurora, the making of the arches, the courtesies of Easter Sunday, the Mayorales and Mayoralesas are fundamental aspects of the festival; but one of the hallmarks is the ringing of bells and above all the human turning that takes place on Sunday morning.

Palm SundayPalm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. It is on this day that the names of the Mayorales and Mayoralesas, the young people responsible for leading all the activities in the coming days, are announced during Mass.

Maundy ThursdayThursday is the prelude to the main days of the festival; this is when the preparations begin by the Mayorales, Mayoralesas, family members and neighbors so that everything is ready for the celebration of Easter in Castiel.

Good FridayThis is the day the poplars are cut down on the banks of the Ebrón River and carried up to the town square on the shoulders of the local young men and women, to be "planted" the following day. Once there, the poplar trunks are peeled for the next day's planting.

Once night falls, the Burial is celebrated, at which time the recumbent image of Jesus Christ and the Virgin of Sorrows are carried on the shoulders of Mayorales, accompanied by the Mayoralesas.

Originally, the trees were two pine trees that the foremen, with the support of family and neighbors, cut down and dragged by pack animals from the mountain to the Plaza de la Villa.

This tradition is associated with a pre-Christian rite related to fertility where spring was welcomed, in this case reconverted into another act of Holy Week.

Holy SaturdayDuring the morning, the poplars are finished peeling, painted if necessary, and the holes where they will later be planted are dug. The final step is to place the tops of the tree trunks, also called "cocotas," emulating the origin of the tradition.

In the afternoon, the two poplar trees are "planted" with the help of the entire population, residents and visitors alike, amidst great tension and attention from everyone. It is only at the very end that a young man climbs up to untie the ropes used to raise the poplar.

Meanwhile, during the day, three arches are made from vine and covered with juniper branches. The largest is placed between the two poplars already planted, topped with a cross of oranges or juniper. The other two arches are placed at the doorways of the Mayoralesas' houses.

At midnight, once Jesus Christ is resurrected according to tradition, the music begins that will liven up the evening.

It is said that in the past, these logs were painted with lime in a spiral pattern, alternating white with blue, green, or red, and gifts were hung on them as a reward for those who climbed up to collect them and untied the ropes as they passed. This tradition has recently been revived.

Easter SundayAt 5:00 a.m., the "Song of the Dawn" begins, with serenades taking place at the homes of the Mayorales and Mayoralesas (the festival organizers). The group, made up of locals and visitors, is treated to pastries, sweets, and liqueurs.

At 8:00 a.m., "The Encounter" takes place, where the Virgin Mary meets her son Jesus Christ under the arch of wicker and the poplar trees "planted" the day before in the Plaza de la Villa. The images are carried by the Mayorales (male and female members of the brotherhood) accompanied by the Mayoralesas (female members of the brotherhood), and before the Virgin enters the Plaza, a series of reverential bows are performed, known as the Cortesías. The Virgin is accompanied by "floreras" (flower girls) who scatter flowers as she passes. At the end of the Encounter, the song "Oh, what a morning of Easter" is sung.

Accompanying the procession is the ringing of the bells, with its unique human ringing. In this tradition, the young men of the village cling to the yoke of the Guillermina bell in the Church of Our Lady of the Angels to be swung around along with it.

After the mass, chocolate and cakes are offered to all those who wish to take part.

The women in charge of the festivities wear traditional attire consisting of a black skirt and bodice, a hair comb, a black mantilla, and a shawl. The men wear suits, although they previously wore the traditional clothing of the region, a part of the tradition that is currently being researched for revival.

Night of the Axes

Night of the Axes video

This festival at the end of August fills the streets of the old town with torches, music and artistic performances, highlighting local creativity and folklore.

More information

After the opening proclamation in the Plaza de la Villa and the switching off of the streetlights, fire illuminates the streets of Castielfabib through torches or "axes." It is then that the procession begins, visiting the most emblematic places and featuring short performances of various performing arts disciplines.

In the second part of the festival, various musical groups from the region perform some of the traditional songs and dances of Rincón de Ademuz, with the aim of highlighting the local intangible cultural heritage.

Human turning

ruta-cultural-castielfabib-amurallado-37

This is the most representative tradition of the municipality. It consists of the village waiters They cling to the yoke of the bell of the Church of Our Lady of the Angels to be turned next to it.

More information

They have to protect their heads well and use all the strength of their hands and feet to hold on tightly to La Guillermina. The skill of the young men is essential to achieve this, as is that of the neighbors in charge of moving the bells.

The church itself is already tall, and the added height of the bell tower makes the festive feat even more daunting. The most difficult part is grabbing the bell mid-swing and letting go without stopping it when you want to abandon the display of courage. There are also those who insist on swinging it in both directions, forwards and backwards.

We're talking about a popular custom Although deeply rooted, its origin is not entirely known, as only documents dating back to the last century have been found, yet popular belief passed down from generation to generation claims that it comes from the medieval period.

The human ringing of bells usually takes place during Holy Week, but it also occurs at other times of the year, such as the feast of Saint William, which, like Easter, is a religious celebration. However, it should be noted that the tradition is more of a profane character. The popularity of this act is such that it is beginning to be usual in the patron saint's festivities, as well as in the various tributes held in the town.

The Castiel residents' particular fondness for bells was already evident in the 18th century, as shown in the writings of Bishop Figueroa. Of the four bells housed in the bell tower, the oldest is Guillermina, weighing 450 kg and with a 92 cm diameter. It dates from 1673 and is still used today for the human ringing of the bells.

The fire bull

The fire bull It's a metal frame, shaped like a bull, on whose spine a frame with firecrackers (firecrackers or sparklers) is placed. It's widely used in the town's festivities.

More information

In the past, in addition to the fire bull, the so-called cordà was also performed, but over time, only the former has remained in the tradition.

It is carried by a person who, after lighting a fuse, runs through the streets of the Plaza de la Villa, chasing people and scaring them with the sparks released by its different elements.
