What to see in Toga

The centre of the village of Toga in the province of Castellón has architectural features that date back many years in time. This is a small destination, but it has a great deal of historic heritage, making it the perfect place if you’re keen to take some beautiful photographs. 

A good place to start your exploration is at the ruins of Toga Castle, which sit on the banks of the River Mijares. Some parts of the medieval structure – dating back to the Arabic period – are still standing. In the past, it served as a residence and palace. Toga Town Walls are another place of interest. Though in ruins, you can still see some gates and arches, which are well worth a visit. 

On a number of the streets in Toga in the province of Castellón you will find ceramic altarpieces decorating the façades. Dating back to the 19th century, these normally depict religious scenes and are part of a tradition that you can see across many of the towns and villages in the Region of Valencia. Last but not least, we recommend visiting La Purísima Concepción Parish Church, built between the 18th and 19th centuries. 

In the scenery surrounding Toga, which sits in a valley between Sierra de Espadán and El Penyagolosa, you will find springs, a weir, natural pools and a beautiful riverscape. The River Mijares has created some lovely scenery and there are plenty of trails to soak it all up. 

We recommend exploring Los Morrones Trail and climbing up Negra Cave or Las Picorzas to what are known as the “Pilones”, two waymarkers that mark the border with the neighbouring village of Torrechiva. Another option is to walk all the way to Argelita. Whatever you choose to do, you’re going to love the experience.
