Castilla District

Castilla District is located in northern Peru within Piura Province and stretches across a wide area at low elevation. The territory contains rural areas alongside settlements and is crossed by local roads.

The district was established as an administrative unit in 1861 and became one of the ten districts within Piura Province. This establishment marked an important moment in the territorial organization of the region.

Local markets and festivals throughout the district show how indigenous traditions and Spanish colonial heritage blend into the everyday life of residents. You can see these influences in the customs and practices that shape community identity.

The district is connected to neighboring regions through a network of roads with regular transportation services. Conditions vary seasonally, so it helps to check local information before planning a visit.

The area shows an interesting contrast between urban development and agricultural lands, offering space for different ways of living. This mix of city and countryside elements defines the character of the district.
