Habsburg and Bourbon Spain

Castellón de la Plana

Today: Spain

Years
1492–1833
Role
Crown town with the Fadrí tower

Castellón was a town of the Crown: in the Germanías it clashed with Burriana and Morella until the Duke of Segorbe took and sacked it in 1521, and in 1707 the Duke of Berwick demanded the demolition of its walls. From the period survives the Fadrí, the freestanding bell tower begun in 1440, with a Baroque spire raised in 1735.
