Castell de Morella

Not as bad a climb up as I thought when I took this photo!! Big place, need 2 hours to get up there explore and come down again! Views from 360° stunning. Plenty restaurants nearby to refresh you on your return!

Super experience and views. Well worth a visit.

Morella has a great feel of old Spain, the castle is just part of the experience of Morella with its windy cobble streets, very authentically old homes and shops. It was an excellent over night or 1 day stay. The drive here is beautiful through olive farms and canyons. The castle has much history. This is a smaller village with lots of steps- no cars allowed inside so you must walk in. The castle as well is not accessible for anyone with an injury or disability.

The castle sits at the top of the hill covering whole village and giving an amazing view from the outside of village. Very picturesque. The village itself has that medieval soul in it. Narrow alleys, buildings, the atmosphere.

Very nice castle and town, really grand with all walls and towers still standing. Town is not ruined by souvenir shops, but still has a nice atmosphere.

Spectacular place. Good walk up to the fortress back in time&history with amazingly picturesque views. You'll get adorable photos.👌📷 Reasonable price for entry EUR 3,50 and EUR 2,50 for parking nearby. Not overcrowded with tourists. Inspiration guaranteed. Morella is a MUST HAVE in my list of recomendations if you are in this region of Spain. ❤

Amazing fortresses located in Morella. One has to climb (approximately 15 minutes) to the top but it's worth doing it. The view is spectacular the fortresses is big and quite old. There is also entrance free one has to pay. A lot to learn regarding Spanish and regional history. In summer it's very hot up there. Strongly recommend to visit!

Excellent castle to visit. 3 euros 50 for adults. Dogs allowed. Very very windy today - I don't know if that's always the case.

Stunning sweet city hidden behind the castle walls, a must visit and great views from the free aire across the road well done Spain beautiful gem

Beautiful medieval castle at the top of the mountain with a nice little spanish town below with everything you need.

A fabulous spot with great views amongst a lovely village with great shops and restaurants.

Castles we know. We went back to Morella in our research about Morella Jewish Quarters. Before arriving to the city, we were able to see again the castle dominating the scene on the top. We visited the medieval streets, explored the churches and walls before hiking up to the castle. When we went up we were able to admire the different walls and terraces of the castle. We also were able to see the views of the churches, the city, and the surroundings mountains. Later, from the distance, we saw what we walked. #abuelosmochileros_morella #abuelosmochileros_castles #geolandmarks #geolandmarks_morella.

The ancient old city, the narrow streets that lead to a impressive panoramic view, the history behind all the constructions, the square with a view to the bull training yard, all make this place worth visiting. One of the most beautiful town in Spain for its unique preserved history and architecture.

Perched right at the top of a hill, with a village at its base. Cost about €3.50, last entry in summer months at 7pm.
Well worth the climb, views are spectacular.

Lovely historical area. Castle is amazing. Town seems really authentic. Great day out.

recommend this poetic garden. there is one big hydrangea tree！in addition，i enjoyed a delicious vegetarian lunch which used soy！👍

Very good price, lots of info, dog friendly

The Morella castle, which dominates an ocean of mountains, has been one of the most imposing fortresses in the Mediterranean. The passage of numerous civilisations has left its mark on this impressive construction continuously inhabited since the 3rd Millennium BC.
The military fortress built using natural rock owes its importance and charm to this privileged situation. Its construction has made it a strategic place of the first order, an impregnable fortress that has allowed the domain and control of the natural passage from the interior to the coast.

From the Christian conquest to the Arabs and the reforms that took place between the 13th-14th centuries, the other future transformations will be marked by technological advances in the art of war.

The Castle also witnessed the passing of very important characters in history: Abderraman III, El Cid, Jaume I, King Fernando de Antequera, Pope Luna, San Vicente Ferrer, the Prince of Viana and General Cabrera: their actions and his words are part of the history of Morella.
