Burriana

Burriana is a port municipality along the Mediterranean coast in Castellón province, with orange groves covering the flat inland areas. The town stretches across several kilometers of coastal territory and maintains its connection to both agriculture and seafaring.

The settlement was conquered in 1233 by King James I of Aragon, and later received a heraldic honor when the crown granted it the right to display three crowns on its flag in 1348. This symbol reflected the town's importance to the kingdom.

The El Salvador church dominates the town with its tall bell tower, built in the Romanesque-Gothic style that followed Christian settlement. It reflects how faith shaped the development of this coastal settlement over centuries.

The municipality sits near Castellón and is easily accessible by road, making it convenient for day trips from larger cities in the region. Main squares and avenues offer visitor services where you can get local information and orientation.

An archaeological museum holds objects from the Iberian period, offering a glimpse into the area's earliest inhabitants. The restored La Mercé convent now serves as a cultural center, showing how historic buildings are repurposed for contemporary community life.
