Согласно переписи 2018 года, в Кастеллоне население 174 264 жителей (называемые Castellonenses на испанском и Castellonencs в Валенсиане), занимая четвертый самый населенный город в общине Валенсиан (после Валенсии , Аликанте и Элче ). Prime Meridian , или Greenwich Meridian, пересекает 40 -ю параллель в Castellón de La Plana и отмечается монолитом в парке Меридиан ( Parc del Meridià ), расположенном в той точке, где это происходит.
The town inherited the name from a Moorish castle on the top of the hill of Magdalena (the Castle of Fadrell [es]), a ḥiṣn [es] dominating over a demarcation roughly consisting of the current-day municipalities of Castellón and Almassora.[3] The area capitulated to James I of Aragon in 1233.[4] This was followed by a series of attempts to create new settlements in the area starting with the alqueria of Benimahomet, the first Christian project to leave the castle, with mixed results.[4] Following the 1247 mudéjar revolt, James I decreed the expulsion of the mudéjares from the area in 1248.[5] The current settlement was however not founded until the 1250s, after James I, on 8 September 1251, granted Ximén Pérez d'Arenós a privilege authorising him to move from the castle to a new unspecified place in the plains (plana).[6] Tradition claims that the move was completed by the third Sunday of Lent, 1252.
During the Middle Ages, the city was protected by moats, walls and towers, and a church was built, later becoming a cathedral.
In the 19th century, the city walls were torn down and it slowly began to expand, a process interrupted by the War of Independence against Napoleon (1804–14) and the Carlist Wars (1833–63). In 1833 Castelló became the capital of the newly constituted province. In the second half of the 19th century, the city again began to expand, marked by the arrival of the railway, the enlargement of the port and the construction of representative buildings (Provincial Hospital, Casino, Theater) and parks.
In 1991 a university (Jaume I University) was established, set upon a modern campus. The local economy is based on industry, tourism and craft-work.
Castellón de la Plana has a Semi-arid climate (Köppen: BSk)[7] with mild winters and hot, dry summers. Autumn is the wettest season and the average sunshine hours are around 2,800 per year.

Most of the historical buildings are located in the diminutive old town, around the Plaça Major (Main Square). These include:
The Concatedral de Santa Maria (co-cathedral of Saint Mary), built in a Gothic-style in the 13th century and reconstructed one century later after destruction by fire. The present building is another reconstruction after the demolition ordered by the council during the Spanish civil war (1936).[9]
The Ajuntament (City Hall), erected at the beginning of the 18th century. It features a Tuscan-style façade rising up over a colonnade.
Planetari de CastellóThe free-standing bell-tower of the procathedral, known as El Fadrí (the single man), built in the 15th century.
The Llotja del Cànem (Hemp Exchange Market), built during the first half of the 17th century to be used by traders in hempen cloth and ropes, a very important activity in the area at the time. Today the building is used by the University for cultural events and temporary exhibitions.
On the northeast edge of the town, at the end of a broad avenue decorated with orange trees, stands the Basílica of Santa Maria del Lledó (European Hackberry or Celtis australis), a basilica devoted to an image of the Virgin Mary found in 1366 by a farmer when he was ploughing his lands. The original 14th-century chapel was extended to its present Baroque form during the 16th century.
The annual festivities in Castellón are a week of celebrations three weeks before Easter every year called La Magdalena. People come from all over the province and many international bands and groups participate.
The city has the professional basketball team AB Castelló, which plays in LEB Oro, Spanish second basketball division.
The local professional football club is CD Castellón, which currently plays in the Segunda división (Spanish second division). It holds home games at Nou Estadi Castàlia, which has a capacity of 15,500 seats. Despite its stadium and social support, the club financial problems and unstable history brought it to play in semi-pro and amateur regional divisions, not playing in La Liga since the 1990–91 season. On 21 March 2018, Castellón beat the record of seasonal tickets in the fourth-tier division with 12,701, and is considered a giant amongst minnows.[10] The presence of Villarreal CF in the adjacent town (only 8 km away) has created a fierce rivalry for geographical reasons, especially due to the success of Villarreal in the last decades.
The city is host to futsal club CFS Bisontes Castellón, which under the name Playas de Castellón was one of the best Spanish and European futsal clubs in the late 90s and early 2000s, having won the premier professional futsal league in Spain twice in 2000 and 2001, and the UEFA Futsal Cup three consecutive times in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
The small Castellón Airport offers charter and general aviation services, as well as scheduled passenger services to London, Bucharest and Poznań. The new Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport is designed to support large international jet flights and was completed in 2011. It has become a symbol of the wasteful spending prior to the 2008–13 Spanish financial crisis. Valencia Airport is about 70 km (43 mi) south whilst Alicante Airport is another 185 km (115 mi) further down the coast.
Nowadays, the city has a new public transport called TRAM of Castellón which is a trolleybus. There is just one line, Línia 1 (TRAM of Castellón), but authorities are planning to build a second line.
