Geldo: Palace, Church and Cultural Festivals

Geldo combines architectural and art history with events focused on art, film and culture. When choosing a hotel in Geldo, it helps to plan your stay around the things you want to see: tours of the Palacio de los Duques de Medinaceli have set times and reservation requirements, while festival programs may vary from one edition to the next. This lets you decide in advance which dates are especially important for your trip.

Palace, Museum and Church

The Museo Ramón Rubio is located in the Palacio de los Duques de Medinaceli. The palace dates from the 15th century. Guided tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays at 12:00, with advance reservation; reservations must be made at least two working days ahead. Confirm the visiting arrangements before your trip if you plan to take a tour. This fixed time can then be factored into your day’s plans.

The Iglesia Parroquial de la Misericordia is a Baroque church from the 17th century. One distinctive feature is the sgraffito that covers the entire dome of the presbytery. The church also houses a large wooden carving called Cristo de la Luz. Those interested in religious art will find both an extensive dome decoration and a single named wooden sculpture here.

The Camino del Santo Grial is also part of Geldo’s cultural heritage: the municipality lies along the route and was the first municipality in the province of Castellón to signpost it. So, when exploring Geldo, you can consider this connection to the route alongside its buildings.

Art, Festivals and Film

ImaginArte Geldo is an open-air mural festival with no specific style prescribed. The festival has given rise to an open-air museum featuring works of art in public spaces. Alongside its historic buildings, murals in public spaces are therefore part of Geldo’s cultural character.

Titirigeldo is a children’s festival held repeatedly in Geldo. The 2026 edition was the fifth consecutive one. Its program included circus performances, musical parades, wooden games, storytelling and concerts in the streets and squares. Activities may differ from one edition to the next; future dates have not been set. So, check the dates and program for the relevant edition before your trip.

Film events are also part of the cultural offering: Documentalia is a documentary film festival held in the Palacio de los Duques de Medinaceli. Festival MICE, an international educational film showcase, is based in Geldo. For Geldo y Acción!, a short film festival, the films are shot in Geldo. The events differ in focus—documentary, educational and short films—offering a range of cinematic ways to engage with the town during your stay.

Geldo’s gastronomy, crafts and trade fair takes place in Plaza de D. Antonio Férriz Díaz. If you want to include the fair in your travel plans, check the dates for the relevant edition, as they may change.
