The government and private individuals work hard to preserve the beauty of the place, making it one of the most visited spots in the city. It is home to a wide range of plants of all kinds. Ribalta Park is not to be missed because it s just beside the railway station. Tourists love to drop by the place as soon as they set foot in Castellon and before leaving; they are sure to visit the place one last time. The park has an exquisite atmosphere with a twinge of the 19 th century designs and general outlook.
Several walk paths lines the pavement and intersect to form a beautiful geometric design. Right in the middle of it lays the Pergola, Music Pavillion . It also has a pond that sits quiet while people are delighted to watch the swarm of fishes and the soothing calmness of the waters.
