Benicasim (in Valencian, Benicà ssim) is a municipality of the county of Castellón, Valencian Community, Spain belonging to the district of the High Page. Whose population is of 16.200 inhabitants (INE 2005) during the winter, being arrived to more than 40.000 in the summery period, since their economy is based on the tourism.Previously to the reconquest, the Castle of Montornés constituted one of the Arab most important feuds in these territories. We also lack news on their destruction and the causes that motivated it. Nevertheless, it is known that the Castle was inhabited until final of the XV century. As it is deduced by their name, it would belong to the "benicasim" that occupied the castle of Montornés before the Christian conquest, first for Cid and finally for the king Jaime I of Aragon.
