Morella Castle and Walls

Morella Castle, designated a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC), is an impressive fortress that overlooks the entire region from its height of 1,072 meters. It was built to take advantage of the mountain’s natural contours and has witnessed battles, conquests, and coronations over the centuries. From its parade ground, you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the inland region of the Valencian Community.
