Civil architecture:
Testimonies of the History of Castielfabib

Castielfabib's civil architecture takes us back through the centuries with buildings that reflect its medieval past and its historical evolution. Every corner of its historical ensemble offers a glimpse of its rich heritage, from the traditional houses to its monumental fortifications.

Castielfabib Castle

Overlooking the town from Monte de Fabio, the castle is a vestige of Roman origin that was extended during the Muslim domination. During the Middle Ages, it was a key element in the defence of the region. Today, its ruins evoke the grandeur of its past.

Further information

They dominate the population, from the so-called Mount FabiusThe remains of a castle whose foundations are considered to be Roman. This castle of Roman origin was extended during the Muslim domination, and was the most important castle in the Rincón region during the Middle Ages.

During the First Carlist War (1833-1840) it was in the hands of the Carlist side, but was dynamited by the Nationalist troops when they took the town. Its archaeological remains were excavated by the archaeologist Juan José Barragán. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) by the Generalitat Valenciana.

Casa de la Villa

En esta imagen de inicios del siglo XX, se puede ver el aspecto que presententaba este edificio, con una reforma clasicista que habia cambiado la configuración de la fachada cegando los arcos de medio punto en planta baja y añadiendo unas arquerias de yeso en fachadada. Cabe destacar el acceso independiente a las dos alturas del edificio, así como la ubicación del calabozo en la parte trasera del inmueble.

In this image from the early 20th century, you can see what this building looked like, with a classicist renovation that had changed the configuration of the façade, closing off the semicircular arches on the ground floor and adding plaster arches to the façade. It is worth noting the independent access to the two floors of the building, as well as the location of the dungeon at the back of the building.

Located in the main square, this emblematic 15th century building has a Renaissance loggia on the ground floor and a decorated wooden coffered ceiling inside. Currently under restoration, it remains a symbol of the town's splendour.

Further information

The Casa de la Villa is a 15th-16th century building that corresponds to the typology of a commodities exchange, very common throughout the Crown of Aragon, with an open-plan ground floor open to the outside through several arches where trade and exchange of goods took place. On the upper floor is the noble hall where, in the foral era, the town's dignitaries met to discuss and deal with matters affecting the town, to impart justice, etc. The most outstanding features of the building are the mural paintings (trompe l'oeil) and the coffered ceiling on the main floor. Its location as the main building in the Plaza de la Villa is justified once the town loses its defensive function and is restructured in a different way, creating a flat and diaphanous space as the nerve centre and power centre of Castielfabib, far from the power that decades before resided in the castle.

Molino de la Villa

Situated on the banks of the river Ebrón, this old mill is located in a natural setting of great beauty, offering a testimony to the importance of hydraulic activity in the region.

Further information

History:

The first reference to a mill in the district of Castielfabib dates back to the Christian conquest of this territory in 1210, when King Pedro "the Catholic" granted a privilege to the Order of Castielfabib. San Juan del Hospital to establish mills in the municipality. This first mill was built and was under the control of the Crown for a few years, until this service, together with the ovens, was leased to the municipality in the time of Alfonso "the Liberal" in 1288.

During the 14th century, more mills were established and granted by the monarchs. From this period, there are also references to the mill of the Villa, which was called "molendinum vetus", i.e. old mill. In the following centuries, the mill continued to be leased by the municipality until the middle of the 19th century when, with the confiscations, the municipality sold it to private hands, passing through different owners until it ceased its activity in the middle of the 20th century.

Description:

The mill of the Villa de Castielfabib is located on the right bank of the river Ebrón, close to the road that traditionally led to Teruel, at the point where the Barrioso bridge is located, in a section where the gorges of the river Ebrón begin, with the mill building literally hanging over the river.

The main building of the mill had two storeys in addition to the cambra, originally with a single-pitched roof facing the river, as well as the arcades on the lower floor. It is a mixture of old materials, such as ordinary, plastered masonry, and modern ones, such as bricks and cement.

Defensive towers and wall remains

Fragments of it can be found in the village centre, among the houses.

Further information

From this enclosure, towers have been preserved scattered around the village, reused as dwellings but retaining features of their former defensive use.

At some point in history, which has not been possible to specify, the town was walled in. It seems that there are three surviving towers of the entire fence, in addition to some scattered sections. The so-called Torrejón, located on the adjacent hill overlooking the town, is opposite the castle.

During the First Carlist War (1833-1840) it was in the hands of the Carlist side, but was dynamited by the Nationalist troops when they took the town. Its archaeological remains were excavated by the archaeologist Juan José Barragán. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) by the Generalitat Valenciana.

Castielfabib tunnels: "La Solana" and "La Umbría".

Called "La Solana" and "La Umbría", they were carved during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship.

Further information

The Castielfabib tunnels are located on the local road that crosses the crags on which the town and the castle-fortress stand. Depending on their position, they are called the 'La Solana' tunnel (south) and the 'La Umbría' tunnel (north): the former is approximately 50 metres long and the latter about 60 metres.

They were carved out of the live rock of the mountain with the means of the time, using pickaxes, shovels and augers that were placed in the morning and exploded at midday. As well as in Castielfabib, the bangs of the cartridges could be heard in Cuesta del Rato and El Cuervo. The construction was carried out by the inhabitants of the town and surrounding areas, and the work lasted several months. First, the shorter La Solana tunnel was opened, followed by the longer La Umbría tunnel.

Both tunnels are preserved practically as they were carved, with few modifications. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) a small perpendicular gallery was opened in the right wall (towards El Cuervo) of the La Solana tunnel, as an air-raid shelter; today the gallery is sealed off.

Religious Architecture:
Spirituality and History

Castielfabib preserves an impressive legacy of religious architecture that includes churches, convents and hermitages, some of them with centuries of history and great artistic relevance.

Church of Our Lady of the Angels

iglesia-forteleza-Nuestra-Senora-de-los-Angeles-castielfabib2

This temple-fortress, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, is a benchmark of Gothic and Renaissance art. Its Gothic murals and its 14th century free-standing bell tower are a delight for art and history lovers.

Further information

Set in a unique location, it is representative of different styles and periods. The primitive church dates from the early 14th century, with an interior space with pointed arches typical of late Romanesque or early Gothic.

The Church-Fortress of Castielfabib is one of the most representative buildings in the Rincón de Ademuz. This Gothic church is located in the tower of the castle, which allows a wide panoramic view over the valley of the river Ebrón.

Originally, it served to protect the security of the town at two of its most important entrances. The important examples of Gothic mural painting discovered in the side chapels covered with ribbed vaults during the restoration work are noteworthy.

The particular morphology of the church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles meant that burials inside it were limited. Burials in the church were common, as has been demonstrated following excavations during the most recent renovations.

The ground floor was known as the Blacksmith's Shop. The first and first floors have been used as storerooms since time immemorial. The upper floor must have been used as a tithe house and there are still inscriptions on the walls that reveal this. Between the third and top floor was the parish church, with the entrance to the parish church through the vaulted passageway.

The original floor plan of the church is rectangular in shape, somewhat irregular, and consists of a main chapel with a flat headwall, facing east. This type of architecture is well known in Valencia for its functionality: the churches of conquest. They were built in towns that were being conquered by Islam in the 13th century and spaces were needed for Christian worship. For this purpose, diaphragm arches and wooden roofs were the most effective and common resources. At the back, there is a door that was originally used to climb up to the bell tower from inside the church, by means of a staircase leading to the main chapel.

The Castielfabib bell tower corresponds to the most common typology in the Rincón de Ademuz. Moreover, its early construction set the model for the main towers in the region. The particular fondness of the people of Castille for the bells of today was already well known at that time, as shown in the writings of Bishop Figueroa. Of the four bells in the belfry, the oldest is the Guillermina, dating from 1673, which is currently used for human ringing (the most representative tradition of the municipality). On its surface you can read: SAN GVILLERMO ORA PRO NOBIS ESTA ES LA BOZ DEL ANGEL QVE EN ALTO SVENA AVE MARIA ANO 1673 / S IOHIS...VICENTI...STIONIS DEL GENRIX...ISPITUREITANI

Convent of San Guillermo

With a history dating back to the 14th century, this convent was an important religious centre occupied by various orders, such as the Augustinians and Franciscans. Although in ruins, it retains its historical essence.

Further information

Of what was once the famous convent of San Guillermo de Castielfabib, which was inhabited by various religious orders throughout its dense history, only the ruins remain as a vestige of what was once the church.

Separated from the town by the gorges of the river Ebrón, it was built at the end of the 16th century by the Carmelites of Aragon. The convent of San Guillermo is linked to the character of Guillermo de Poitiers (1071 - 1126), Duke of Aquitaine, who supported Alfonso I of Aragon, between 1120 and 1123, in his military campaigns.

It was originally occupied by the Carmelites of Aragon in the 16th century, as the closest convent to the town, the hermitage of Gracia, was occupied by the Augustinians. A few years later, it was occupied by the Franciscan Observants of Valencia, who possessed it from 1577 until 1835, when it was finally vacated. In 1576, the convent, designed by Tomás Gregori, was erected. It had a north-south orientation, which is strange, as the absence of surrounding obstacles meant that the high altar could be oriented in a more canonical manner towards the east.

Therefore, the main axis of the church was located parallel to the Ebrón and the path that runs alongside it, so that passers-by, when passing by, could see the west side of the church. On the east and south sides of the church was the convent, and the whole complex was surrounded by enclosed gardens. Of that Franciscan church, built over the medieval sanctuary of San Guillermo, the rectangular sections of the body can still be distinguished, with its side chapels that were covered by vaulted vaults and a square chevet open to the nave by a flared arch. In this way, the Franciscans settled in the most symbolic place, since it was on that side of the river where, according to legend, Saint William had lived as a hermit, had done penance in a nearby cave, had built the chapel and, when his days were over, had finally been buried in it.

Since then, only the ruins of the convent church remain, with its arcades and chapels on the epistle and gospel side, as well as the remains of the bell tower and part of the frontier, which has a Baroque portico, although the church was originally Gothic. Also remaining are the cistern, with its curbstone curbstone and washbasin, all in carved stone, located to the southeast of the convent, where the monastery's vegetable garden and farmyard area used to be. Today it is in a state of unstoppable ruin. Of the entire complex, only the chapel, whose walls and few architectural elements give an idea of Franciscan splendour, is still visible today. Another well-preserved element is the well curbstone which is located nearby, surrounded by the monastery's vegetable garden.

Virgen de Gracia Chapel

Dating from the 14th century, this Gothic chapel, now used as a cemetery chapel, stands out for its simplicity and historical value. It is recognised as an Asset of Local Relevance.

Hermitage of La Purísima (Cuesta del Rato)

CuestadelRato-ermitaPurisima_20188280_02

Erected as the "Hermitage of San Diego", it began to be documented in the 18th century. Due to its proximity and various indications, it is linked to the Convent of San Guillermo de Castielfabib.

Further information

Initially, the hermitage must have been a small hermitage, built to prevent the locals from having to travel to the village to attend mass.

This hermitage with three naves and a choir at the foot houses in its presbytery an image of the Immaculate Conception and another smaller one for San Diego de Alcalá.

During the Spanish Civil War, the chapel was looted and its furniture and ornamental elements destroyed.

Hermitage of San Sebastián (Mas de Jacinto)

A humble building made of masonry with a gabled roof. Inside, there is a wooden cross that tradition says comes from the Garden of Olives.

Church of San Joaquín and Santa Ana (Arroyo Cerezo)

Parish church of Arroyo Cerezo, village of Castielfabib. The building is located in the "barrio de Enmedio", the church's own neighbourhood, and is listed as a Site of Local Importance.

Hermitage of San Marcos (Los Santos)

The hermitage dates back to the 18th century, although it has been renovated several times, the last one being the one that gave it its current appearance in the 1950s.

Further information

It is a construction made of masonry and stone. The entrance to the chapel is located between two buttresses on one side wall. It has a single-bodied bell tower attached to it, with a pyramidal roof. In the bell tower there are two recently cast bells, the bell The Saintscast in 1991, with a diameter of 56 cm and a weight of 102 kg, and the bell Luciacast in 1975, with a diameter of 61 cm and a weight of 131 kg.

This hermitage serves as a parish church and is notable for its slender bell tower.

Archaeological Heritage:
Vestiges of Early Civilisations

Castielfabib's archaeological heritage allows us to delve into the life of the ancient cultures that inhabited this land. From cave paintings to Roman fragments, each find tells a part of its history.

Shelter of the Lomas de Abril

El abrigo de las Lomas de Abril es un conjunto de arte rupestre localizado en el centro del barranco de Val del Agua, formando el único conjunto de pinturas levantinas localizado en la comarca del Rincón de Ademuz, y que constituye un testimonio excepcional de las culturas neolíticas en la zona. Estas pinturas están protegidas por la Legislación Estatal y Autonómica, habiendo sido declaradas Bien de Interés Cultural y, desde 1998, forman parte de la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO.

The Lomas de Abril shelter is a group of rock art located in the centre of the Val del Agua ravine, forming the only group of Levantine paintings located in the Rincón de Ademuz region, and which constitutes an exceptional testimony to the Neolithic cultures in the area. These paintings are protected by State and Autonomous Community legislation, having been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and, since 1998, they have formed part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Castiel-lomasdeAbril-pinturas-rupestres-del-neolitico

Located in El Rodeno, this site is home to Neolithic cave paintings, along with archaeological remains and traditional architecture linked to the agricultural world.

Further information

The prehistoric paintings that we can admire in these rock shelters are the only ones discovered so far in the Rincón de Ademuz. They belong to Levantine rock art, estimated to have been painted around 9,000 years ago and are protected by state and regional legislation, declared BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural). They were discovered in March 2014 by Ricardo Canet García, a member of fire-fighting squad no. 18.

In the area of the Corrales de los Fantasmas there is a group of traditional architectural constructions, which served as a temporary residence for farmers at specific times of the agricultural cycle. There are also archaeological remains of interest: a defensive wall and a group of stones in the form of petroglyphs, presumably used as ovens for the traditional extraction of juniper oil from the miera.

Votive altar of the Castillejo

Losantos-paisajeRural-ara-votiva-del-castillejo-3

A fragment of a Roman tombstone from the 1st century AD, this piece is a tangible testimony to the Roman presence in the region.

Further information

The ara votiva del Castillejo is a carved stone with a Latin inscription from the 1st century AD, discovered in 1955 in the partida del Castillejo, near Los Santos, a hamlet of Castielfabib, in the province of Valencia, Spain. The discovery was made during the construction of a track leading to the village from the N-420 road. Subsequently, in 1971, the piece was rediscovered and donated to the Museum of Prehistory in Valencia, where it is currently on display.

The altar is made of soft limestone of local origin and measures 45 cm high, 29 cm wide and 18 cm thick. Although it lacks decorative elements and is fragmented, it preserves the central part corresponding to the epigraphic area. The inscription, in Latin, is dedicated to the goddess Diana and was made by an individual named Lucius Caecilius. This type of offering was common in Roman times, used to express gratitude for favours or to fulfil promises to the deities.

The discovery of the votive altar in the Castillejo area suggests the possible existence of a Roman place of worship in the area, although no further archaeological evidence has been found to confirm this. The place name "El Castillejo" could indicate the historical presence of a fortified structure or keep at the site. This find is significant, as it represents the only known Roman archaeological sample in the Castielfabib area, providing valuable information on the presence and activities of the Romans in this region.

The inscription on the altar, being dedicated to Diana, a deity associated with hunting and nature, could reflect the importance of these activities in the daily life of the Roman inhabitants of the area. The conservation and exhibition of this piece in the Prehistoric Museum of Valencia allows researchers and the general public to appreciate and study this testimony to Roman history in the Valencian Community.

La Nava Necropolis

Necropolis-de-la-nava-en-el-cerro-morrita

In Corrales de la Nava, to the northwest of the town, two Iberian necropolises were found - one in Los Corrales and the other in La Umbría - and an Iberian fort on the hill of La Morrita, dated between the 7th century BC and the 4th century BC.

Festivals and traditions of Castielfabib

The intangible heritage of Castielfabib is a living treasure that reflects the cultural identity of its inhabitants through unique celebrations and artistic manifestations.

Easter

Easter Week in Castielfabib combines religious and pagan elements with events such as the human ringing of bells and the planting of poplar trees in the square, creating a unique and moving experience.

Further information
If there is a traditional Easter Week with the flavour of "old times" in the Valencian counties of Turia, it is undoubtedly Easter Week in Castielfabib. It is a time when the municipality approaches the tradition and folklore of its ancestors, with unique and exceptional customs.

The uniqueness of this Easter is undoubtedly the mixture of pagan and religious acts in total harmony, despite the fact that its origin is not sufficiently documented.

Cutting the poplars, planting them in the Plaza, the singing of the Aurora, the making of the arches, the Easter Sunday courtesies, the Mayorales and Mayoralesas are fundamental aspects of the festival; but one of the signs of identity is the ringing of the bells and above all the human ringing that takes place on Sunday morning.

Palm SundayPalm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week. It is on this day that the names of the Mayorales and Mayoralesas, who will be the young people in charge of guiding all the activities over the next few days, are announced during mass.

Maundy ThursdayThursday is the prelude to the central days of the festival, here begin the preparations by the Mayorales, Mayoralesas, family and neighbours so that everything is ready for the celebration of Easter castielera.

Good FridayThis is the day when the poplars are cut on the banks of the Ebrón and carried to the Plaza de la Villa on the shoulders of the local young men and women, to be "planted" the following day. Once at their destination, they begin to peel the poplar trunks for the following day.

Once night falls, the Burial is celebrated, when the recumbent image of Jesus Christ and the Virgin of Sorrows are carried on the shoulders of the Mayorales, accompanied by the Mayoralesas.

Originally, the trees were two pine trees that the foremen, with the support of relatives and neighbours, cut down and dragged by horses from the mountain to the Plaza de la Villa.

This tradition is associated with a pre-Christian rite related to fertility where the spring was welcomed, in this case reconverted into another act of Holy Week.

Holy SaturdayDuring the morning, the poplars are peeled, painted, if necessary, and the holes are made where they will later be planted. The last step is to place the tips of the trunk fields in a pine cup, also called "cocotas", emulating the origin of the tradition.

In the afternoon, the two poplars are "planted" with the help of the whole population, neighbours and visitors, with great tension and attention from everyone. It is at the end of the process that a young person climbs up to untie the ropes used to lift the poplar.

At the same time, three arches made of sargantillo and covered with juniper branches are made during the day. The largest is placed between the two poplar trees already planted, crowned with a cross of orange or juniper. The other two arches are placed at the doors of the Mayoralesas' houses.

At 00.00h at night, once Jesus Christ is resurrected according to tradition, the music that will enliven the evening begins.

It is said that in the past, these trunks were painted with lime in the shape of a spiral, alternating white with blue, green or red, and gifts were hung as a reward for those who climbed up to pick them up and untie the ropes as they passed. This tradition has recently been revived.

Easter SundayAt 5 a.m., the "Canto de la Aurora" (dawn singing) begins in the houses of the Mayorales and Mayoralesas. The rondalla, made up of local residents and visitors to the town, is presented with cakes, sweets and liqueurs.

At 8 o'clock in the morning "El Encuentro" takes place, where the Virgin Mary meets her son Jesus Christ under the sargatillo arch and the poplars "planted" the day before in the Plaza de la Villa. The images are carried by the Mayorales accompanied by the Mayoralesas, and before the Virgin enters the Plaza, the Cortesías, or courtesies, bow to her with a script. The Virgin is accompanied by the "floreras" girls who throw flowers as she passes. At the end of the Encounter, the song "Oh what an Easter morning" is sung.

Accompanying the procession is the ringing of the bells, with the unique human ringing of the bells. In it, the young men of the village hold on to the yoke of the Guillermina bell of the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles to be rung alongside it.

After the mass, chocolate and cakes are offered to all those who wish to take part.

The Mayoralesas are dressed in the traditional costume consisting of a saya and black bodice, comb, black mantilla and a shawl. The Mayoraleses wear a costume, although they used to wear the traditional dress of the region, a part of the tradition that is in the process of being recovered.

Night of the Axes

Axe night video

This late August festival fills the streets of the old town with torches, music and artistic performances, highlighting local creativity and folklore.

Further information

After the opening proclamation in the Plaza de la Villa and the switching off of the public lighting, the fire illuminates the streets of Castielfabib through the torches or "hachas". This is when the tour of the most emblematic places begins and small performances of various performing arts disciplines take place.

In the second part of the festival, various musical groups from the region perform part of the traditional songs and dances of the Rincón de Ademuz, with the aim of highlighting the local intangible cultural heritage.

Human turning

ruta-cultural-castielfabib-amurallado-37

This is the most representative tradition of the municipality. It consists of the village waiters cling to the yoke of the bell of the church of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles to be swung alongside it.

Further information

They have to protect their heads well and use all the strength of their hands and feet to hold on tightly to La Guillermina. The skill of the waiters is essential to achieve this, as is that of the neighbours in charge of moving the bells.

The church is already tall in itself and the added height of the bell tower makes the festive feat even more fearsome. The most difficult thing is to hold on to the bell in the middle of the ringing and to let go without stopping it when you want to abandon the demonstration of courage. There are also those who insist on ringing the bell in both directions, forwards and backwards.

We are talking about a popular custom which, although deeply rooted, its origin is not known with total certainty, as documents have only been found that date back to the last century, and yet popular belief, passed down from generation to generation, states that it comes from medieval times.

The human ringing of bells usually takes place mainly at Easter, but they also occur at other times of the year, such as St. William's Day, which, like Easter, is a religious festival. However, it should be pointed out that the tradition is more of a profane character. The popularity of this act is such that it is beginning to be usual in the patron saint's festivities, as well as in the various tributes held in the town.

The particular fondness of the people of Castille for the bells of today was already well known in the 18th century, as the writings of Bishop Figueroa show. Of the four bells housed in the bell tower, the oldest is the Guillermina, with a weight of 450 kg and a mouth of 92 cm. It dates from 1673, and today it is the one used for human ringing.

The fire bull

The fire bull is a metal frame, imitating the shape of a bull, on the back of which is placed a frame with firecrackers (borrachos or buscapies). It is widely used in the municipality's festivities.

Further information

In the past, in addition to the bull of fire, the so-called cordà was also performed, but over time, only the first one has remained in the tradition.

It is carried by a person who, after lighting a fuse, runs through the streets of the Plaza de la Villa, chasing people and scaring them with the sparks released by its different elements.
