The maps illustrate the changes that have taken place in the Spanish city of Castellon from 2000 to the present day.
Overall, Castellon has experienced significant development, particularly in transportation, commercial facilities, and entertainment areas. The city centre has been modernized and several new buildings and services have been introduced.
In 2000, Castellon had relatively limited infrastructure. The train station and old market were located on the western side of the city centre, while the university was situated in the northern area. A road ran across the city above the port, which was located along the coastline in the south.
Today, many new facilities have been added. A hall of residence and a police station have been constructed near the university, and a new train station has replaced the original one. In addition, a shopping centre and several new shops have been built around the city centre.
The city centre itself has become more pedestrian-friendly, with the introduction of a bike rental scheme and pedestrian-only areas. The old market has been replaced by a covered market. Furthermore, new leisure facilities such as a cinema, bars, and clubs have been developed near the port, while an airport is currently under construction to the east of the city
