Castelló Cathedral

Castelló Cathedral is a cathedral in Castelló featuring three naves supported by octagonal pillars and a pentagonal apse at its eastern end. The building stands in Plaza Mayor next to Town Hall and the El Fadrí bell tower.

The original 13th-century structure was destroyed in 1936 and subsequently rebuilt by architect Vicente Traver Tomás. The reconstruction took about 60 years and was completed in 1999.

The cathedral blends Valencian Gothic with Baroque and Neoclassical features, showing how Spanish architectural styles evolved over time. Visitors can observe these different layers in the columns, decorative elements, and overall design.

The cathedral is centrally located next to Town Hall and easy to reach on foot, with El Fadrí bell tower serving as a landmark. The building is open daily for services and visitors, so you can plan your visit around the worship schedule.

Three original Gothic doors survived multiple reconstructions and remain in use today. The oldest entrance can be found on Calle Arcipreste Balaguer and displays medieval craftsmanship.
