Mascarell is the only town in the Valencian Country that is still completely surrounded by its original walls and has not grown out of them. Many cities preserve their Medieval walls, but all the others have expanded around them in the last centuries.

The name "Mascarell" comes from the Arabic word that means "encampment". The town was founded when the Muslim population was expelled from the nearby town of Borriana in 1310. The city walls date back from the year 1553. Right outside the walls, the town used to be surrounded by a moat as defence, but nowadays the moat has been turned into an irrigation canal.
