Soak up history and views that will take your breath away at El Fadrí Bell Tower in Castelló de la Plana.

Torre Campanario El Fadrí, El Fadrí Bell Tower, is an icon of Castelló de la Plana. Construction work on the tower commenced in the 15th century and concluded in the late 16th century. Sitting in the city’s Plaza Mayor, its name, El Fadrí, which means “single” in Valencian, refers to its free-standing nature, as it is not attached to the place of worship, Santa María la Mayor Church.

Approximately 60 m tall, El Fadrí Bell Tower is divided into 4 sections: the clock chamber, a prison, the bell-ringer's residence, and the bell chamber. The bell tower is open to visitors. It’s well worth climbing up the 200 steps as you can stand on the terrace that affords incredible panoramic views over the city. Come to Castelló de la Plana to explore centuries of history and take some great photos.
