What to see in Segorbe
Segorbe, about 44 km from Valencia, is the capital of the Alto Palancia: 9,805 residents on the corridor between the coast and Aragón. It held the diocesan seat until 1960 and today shares the diocese with Castellón. Its old town, BIC as a whole, packs the heritage into a short walk.
The Cathedral Basilica mixes Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical around its Gothic cloister, and the Cathedral Museum keeps the Gothic panels of the diocese. The historic ensemble joins palaces, gates and squares up to the walls, aqueduct and castle, with Palancia views. The town hall sets the civic seat on the old town square. Olive oil from the surrounding groves centres the local table. The city, of 9,805 residents, is walked on foot from the old centre to the walls, with the cathedral as centre. The Palancia corridor, between the coast and Aragón, explains its frontier and see history. Oil and market gardens mark the table, and festivities fill the squares.
