Castellon Parks
Ribalta Park (The Ribalta)
Park is the oldest public park in the city and preserves an extensive
variety of plant species. Located in front of the railway station,
the park is representative of 19th-century tastes. A number of
walkways intersect each other, forming little squares where the
Music Pavilion, the Pérgola, the pond and an old locomotive
called the Panderola are located, making the park a delightful
place for people of all ages. In the area surrounding the park,
various modernist buildings and the Bull Ring create an atmosphere
in which it is possible to sink back into the tranquil past. The
Crafts and Alternative Lifestyles Fair is held in the central
walkway each year coinciding with the fiestas of the Magdalena.
Avenida del Rey D. Jaime (King James Avenue)
Named after the James I, the Conqueror, is a wide city avenue
flanked by modern buildings, among which the unique brick Post
and Telegraph Office is of note, together with the Secondary School
Francisco Ribalta. The latter contains a splendid collection of
frescos by Castells depicting the arts and sciences. Presiding
the avenue is a statue of King James, done by the Castellón-born
artist José Viciano. Other squares and avenues in the city
offer attractive gardens such as those of the Geologist Royo Gómez
and of the Botanist Calduch.
