Few towns in the Valencian Community have a history as closely tied to the medieval wool trade as Catí. Set in the inland Maestrat, far from the Mediterranean coast, it is surrounded by the dry, mountainous terrain characteristic of northern Castellón. The trade brought prosperity that is still evident in the compact historic centre, where the Gothic parish church of Our Lady of the Assumption and the old Casa de la Vila recall Catí’s late-medieval importance. Stone-built streets and traditional rural architecture give the town a distinctly interior Valencian character.
