Castelló de la Plana hosts cultural events and historical commemorations

Castelló de la Plana is hosting various cultural initiatives, including the XXIX Jornades de Cultura Popular scheduled for November 6 to 8, 2026, at Menador Espai Cultural. Organized with the participation of Fundación Caja Castellón, the event focuses on the history, traditions, and cultural heritage of the city, with this year's program specifically examining the influence of cinema on local social and cultural life.

In a historical context, records highlight a significant 1976 pontifical mass presided over by Bishop Josep Maria Cases i Deordal at the Sanctuary of Mare de Déu del Lledó. During this event, which commemorated the seventh centenary of King James I, the Bishop delivered a homily in the Catalan language. His discourse was noted for defending the term “País Valencià” and addressing the linguistic unity of the region, marking a unique moment during the Valencian transition.
