What to see and do in Castell de Cabres

Castell de Cabres
Village
Castell de Cabres is a municipality of the Baix Maestrat, in the north-west of the province of Castellón, within the sub-comarca of the Tenencia de Benifasar; it is the least populated municipality in the whole of the Valencian Community, with 21 inhabitants according to the INE in 2025. Its territory, very mountainous and rich in pine forests, includes sites such as the Bovalar and the Fuente del Boix. Settled in 1239 by Blasco de Alagón, it remained under the rule of the monastery of Puebla de Benifasar for centuries and reached 416 inhabitants in 1900. It preserves the remains of the castle that gives it its name, the church of San Lorenzo, from the 18th century, with three naves, a quadrangular bell tower and baroque paintings, and a stone-arched fountain that has supplied the village with water since its construction. Today it lives from livestock farming and hospitality.
Church of San Lorenzo de Castell de Cabres
Monument
The parish church of San Lorenzo, in Castell de Cabres — the least populated municipality in the Comunitat Valenciana —, stands at the centre of the village, next to the town hall, on the main square. The present building, consecrated in 1763, replaced the original temple, located in the now-vanished castle; it has a claustral plan, three naves and three bays, with a transept, a raised choir and a square ashlar bell tower at the foot. The central nave is covered with sail vaults and the side ones with groin vaults. Inside, almost intact popular paintings in vivid colours survive, from the late baroque of the late 18th century, on friezes, plinths, pilasters, pendentives — with the four evangelists — and vaults, restored between 2013 and 2015.
