La Pobla Tornesa
Village
La Pobla Tornesa is a municipality of the Plana Alta, in the province of Castellón, with 1,322 inhabitants (INE 2025), in a small valley between the sierras of the Desierto de Las Palmas and Borriol. The Vía Augusta passed through its territory, of which three milestones are preserved on the Senda de los Romanos, next to the Iberian settlement of la Balaguera; it is believed the village arose from an inn or posada on this Roman road. In 1515 it was acquired by Nicolás Casalduch, first Baron of la Puebla, a title kept by his descendants. In 1708, during the War of the Spanish Succession, more than 5,000 Bourbon soldiers plundered the harvest and caused the exodus of its residents to Vilafamés. At the top of the Moncatil stands the hermitage of Sant Cristòfol, the destination of a pilgrimage on the weekend following Ascension.
