Torralba del Pinar
Village
Torralba del Pinar is a mountain municipality of El Alto Mijares, in the province of Castellón, located on the northern slope of the Sierra de Espadán, within its natural park; almost all of its municipal area is covered with pines, cork oaks and holm oaks. The first document mentioning the locality is the charter of the Boundaries of Daroca, from 1142. On the summit of El Pinar, the highest in the range at 1,102 m, remains from the Civil War are preserved, and the Romeral viewpoint offers a wide view of the municipal area. It preserves the hermitage of Santa Bárbara, built on top of a former mosque, next to a fountain and a wash-house, an 18th-century parish church with a 15th-century processional cross, and the ruins of the castle of Villahaleva, atop a hill. It has 57 inhabitants (2025).
Ruins of the Castle of Villahaleva
Monument
Remains of a medieval fortress located on a promontory in the centre of the valley that links the municipalities of Ayódar and Torralba del Pinar, although they belong to the jurisdiction of the latter. Also known as the castle of Vilahaleva, Vialeva or Villafaleva, it is listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) by generic declaration, with ministerial registration since 7 May 2007.
Hermitage of Santa Bárbara de Torralba del Pinar
Monument
Hermitage built by residents over an old mosque of Arab origin, next to a spring and a wash house preserved on the outskirts of Torralba del Pinar. It stands at the edge of the village, on the way to Pavías, and is reached by a path that descends towards the public wash house and the cemetery; a small ceramic altarpiece bearing the image of the saint and the date 1969 marks the spot. The area is popularly known as “la Mezquitilla”, in reference to this tradition. It is a simple, single-nave building, with a porticoed atrium of round arches in front of the entrance, of masonry reinforced with ashlar and a two-pitched roof; on the wooden door three crosses are arranged as a calvary. It is listed as a Bien de Relevancia Local (a local-level heritage protection listing in the Comunitat Valenciana).
