Culture and History

Access to Valderrobres is via the Puente de Piedra. From 1390 onwards, Archbishop García Fernández de Heredia resumed work on the church and transformed the original castle of Valderrobres into a residential palace.

Santa María la Mayor in Valderrobres is a single-nave Gothic church with three sections and side chapels. The castle visitor route leads to the parapet walk and battlements; from there, panoramic views of the surrounding area and the castle’s defensive structure open up.

In the museum, visitor routes use information panels, models and audiovisual media to guide visitors through the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art of the Matarraña. Fonda la Plaza is a medieval stone house in Valderrobres next to the river and Plaza de la Constitución. The old prison of Valderrobres is located in the basement of the town hall and has been protected as a BIC since 1982.

Nature and Trails

After the Gothic ensemble of Valderrobres, the Pels Camins del Matarranya route leads into a Mediterranean landscape. The Val de Zafán Greenway is a signposted, accessible, non-motorised route along a disused railway line; it is used for cycling, walking and horse riding.

The Greenway runs through Valderrobres; access is at the former railway station outside the town centre and is possible via rural roads from the town or by car. The Observatorio de Aves Mas de Bunyol offers an immersive experience focused on observing and protecting scavenging birds, particularly vultures.

The trails differ in terms of landscape, means of transport and access point. For daily planning, you can combine these features with the cultural and nature-related themes and choose the desired type of activity for each day according to your own preferences. In Valderrobres, architectural heritage, landscape trails and nature observation can be considered as separate focal points alongside one another. Semana Santa de Valderrobres is recognised as a Fiesta de Interés Turístico de Aragón; an annual pilgrimage is associated with the “los Santos” hermitage, and the Calvary was transformed from an old cemetery into a Stations of the Cross route and a public park.
