Between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the modernist style arrived in Castellón. Wealthy families commissioned different buildings to cover their needs, and they have almost all remained in their original state to this day.

We encourage you to take a Modernist Route, visiting the main buildings constructed using this characteristic style. The Casino, the Post Office Building, Casa de las Cigüeñas and many more architectural jewels await. Are you really going to miss them?
