Slide 1 of 8
We walked up to the castle which was quite a trek, zigzagging up the hill. Once we got past the metal bridge after the modern bull ring I walked along to the left to see the statue of Ramon Cabrera, a guerilla leader in one of the Spanish succession wars and views over the ruined convent of St Francis. Access to the castle from there was blocked so I walked all the way back and carried on up the hill to the main gate. This had obviously been repaired recently but if an attacker even go that far I'd be impressed. The area before the summit contained the governors palace (now housing an exhibition of the town's history) and various admin, storage and living rooms and a prison. The 19th century improvements were very visible with extra walls and batteries due to the capabilities of modern canon, two of which were added to the castle in the 1950s. The top of hill was very windswept and had lots of rooms with information boards but in Spanish only. The views, as you can image, were just fantastic with the lower fortifications, the city walls, the medieval aquaduct and the wider Valencian countryside all layed out.
Wonderful place to visit! Looooots of stares, very nice views, impressive piece of history! Totally it's a visit must!
Wow, climbing up to Morella’s castle felt like stepping into a medieval saga! The steep, winding path had my heart racing, but those jaw-dropping views of the Valencian countryside? Totally worth every step. The fortress, perched at 1,073 meters, is a time capsule did you know it was first built by the Moors in the 900s on Roman ruins? For just €2, you get to explore its ancient walls and towers. Wear comfy shoes, bring a water bottle, and don’t skip the tiny fossil jewelry shop at the exit those pieces glow in the sun! Perfect for history buffs and adventurers alike.
Absolutely amazing place! The Castelo de Morela is stunning — the views from the top are breathtaking, and you can really feel the history in every corner. There’s plenty of interesting information about what happened here during medieval times, which makes the visit even more fascinating. The castle is very well maintained, and it’s easy to imagine what life might have been like centuries ago. A must-visit if you’re in the area!
Castell de Morella is a must if you’re chasing history with jaw-dropping views. This ancient fortress, perched on a rocky hill, feels like stepping into a medieval saga. Pro tip: visit early morning when it opens at 11 AM to skip any queues—takes about 5-10 minutes max. Entry is just €5, a steal for the climb to Plaza de Armas, where you’ll snap epic photos of Morella’s red rooftops and the Els Ports mountains. Wear comfy shoes for the steep paths, and don’t miss the Convent de Sant Francesc entrance it’s the only way in
Ticket costs €5/person. Dogs are allowed. A magnificent castle where can overlook the whole town.
It seems like a very big hill to climb to the top of the castle but it's not too bad, for someone like me who hates hills. Amazing views and information plaquards around, €3.50 entrance fee.
It's a little town on the hill, with an ancient church building, though small it's very unique worth to explore even though you may have seen many. The castle on the top is a ruine, ancient but nothing much to see. The streets in the middle of the hill are just like any other Spanish town.

Morella is an amazing town not too far from Peniscola and Valencia. It is like going back in time! This town is amazing and the church is greatly preserved that reflects the history. Beautiful building.
Real surprise when we entered the church. Truly amazing interior. Well worth the small entry fee.
Beautiful church steeped in history.Loads of religious artefacts including statues, paintings and monuments. Very interesting and humbling .
Very beautiful church, especially inside. Not the biggest one but i would say its still worth visiting.
Ancient church into the magical and charming village of Morella
Get there before closing time. Not much to see from the outside.
The church is gorgeous inside
A beautiful experience!!

(Translated by Google) The Convent is part of the visit to the Castle, in fact, it is accessed from here. The Convent remains standing and is well preserved, the part that has been restored, because there is still a lot of work left. Only three quarters of the courtyard can be explored, the rest is in ruins. The Convent itself has no furniture that remains from when it was occupied. We saw that it is still under construction, so I deduce that they will gradually recover their original state. The bathrooms were on one side of the patio, the women's bathroom had two toilets and they were clean. (Original) El Convento entra dentro de la visita al Castillo, de hecho, se accede por aquí. El Convento se mantiene en pie y está bien conservado, la parte que han restaurado, porque todavía queda mucho trabajo. Del patio, solo se pueden recorrer tres cuartas partes, el resto está en ruinas. El Convento en sí no tiene mobiliario que se conserve de cuando estaba ocupado. Vimos que sigue en obras, por lo que deduzco que irán recuperando poco a poco su estado original. Los baños estaban en un lateral del patio, el de mujeres tenía dos wc y estaban limpios.
Looks very impressive and interesting. Unfortunately, it is closed.
I’m going on my way
(Translated by Google) Unfortunately you cannot visit the monastery at the moment because it is being renovated. But what is also good is that things are being done to preserve cultural monuments. There are many other sights to see in Morella. (Original) Leider kann man das Kloster zur Zeit nicht besuchen da es renoviert wird. Was aber auch wieder gut ist, dass für die Erhaltung von Kulturdenkmälern getan wird. Dafür gibt es in Morella noch viele weiter Sehenswürdigkeiten zu sehen.
(Translated by Google) The Convent of San Francisco de Morella, whose foundation is not dated. Some authors indicate that it was the year of conquest of the town, in 1232, but most put it back until 1270 or 1272, although they all agree that it was a foundation of James I the Conqueror (1213-1276). It is currently under construction and cannot be visited. I think they are planning to make a hostel. The confiscation caused it to deteriorate. The most notable remains of the monastic complex are the cloister, the chapter house, and the church. The cloister is the oldest element. It has an irregular floor plan, and has lost the roof that covered its pandas. It presents a very sober decoration, characteristic of the buildings belonging to mendicant communities of the first Valencian Gothic. It is structured by means of three-lobed arches that rest on capitals with simple prismatic shapes, under which there are four-lobed columns with bases of similar shapes, and which are supported on a parapet, whose only decoration is a simple molding. In the Chapter House, the extraordinary fresco paintings made in the 15th century stand out, representing the Tree of Life and the Dance of Death, and which have been recently restored. The iconography based on the calamities of the Black Death and its repercussions. The theme of death dominated the Late Middle Ages and expresses that the joys of the world are perishable and that one must be prepared to die a Christian death and, on the other hand, it has a satirical intention by making everyone fall dead, regardless of their age. or their social position, given the equalizing power of death. (Original) El Convento de San Francisco de Morella, cuyo fundación no esta datada. Algunos autores indican que fue el año de conquista de la villa, en 1232, pero la mayoría lo atrasan hasta 1270 o 1272, aunque todos coinciden en que fue una fundación de Jaime I el Conquistador (1213-1276). En estos momentos está en obras y no se puede visitar. Creo que se planea hacer un parador. La desamortización hizo que se deteriorara. Los restos más destacados del conjunto monástico son el claustro, la sala capitular, y la iglesia. El claustro es el elemento más antiguo. Tiene una planta irregular, y ha perdido la techumbre que cubrió sus pandas. Presenta una decoración muy sobria, característica de los edificios pertenecientes a comunidades mendicantes del primer gótico valenciano. Se estructura por medio de arcos trilobulados que se apoyan sobre unos capiteles con unas sencillas formas prismáticas, bajo los cuáles hay unas columnas tetralobuladas con unas basas de formas similares, y que se sostienen sobre un pretil, cuya única decoración es una sencilla moldura. En la sala Capitular destaca las extraordinarias pinturas realizadas al fresco en el siglo XV, que representan el Árbol de la Vida y la Danza de la Muerte, y que han sido recientemente restauradas. La iconografía basada en la calamidades de la peste negra y su repercusión. El tema de la muerte dominó la Baja Edad Media y expresa que los goces del mundo son perecederos y que hay que estar preparado para morir cristianamente y, por otro lado, tiene una intención satírica al hacer que todos caigan muertos, con independencia de su edad o su posición social, dado el poder igualatorio de la muerte.
(Translated by Google) The convent and the first church that they had in the city after their wars, enjoyed throughout history, preserve very little on the walls. And conservation, thanks to donations, is recovering part of the areas. On the other hand, it is the entrance to the castle, and its price is not much. (Original) El convento y la primera iglesia que tuvieron en la ciudad después de sus guerras, disfrutadas a través de la historia ,conservan muy poco en las paredes. Y la conservación gracias a las donaciones están recuperando parte de las zonas. Por otro lado es la entrada hacia el castillo, y su precio no es mucho.
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, but it deserves a great restoration, it is the climb to the castle and you have to pay an entrance fee, I have read somewhere that it is planned that in the future it will be a National Parador, it is used for exhibitions and concerts since they say that the acoustics are magnificent (Original) Muy bonito, pero merece una gran restauración, es la subida al castillo y hay que pagar entrada, he leido por ahí que está previsto que en un futuro sea Parador Nacional, se utiliza para exposiciones y conciertos ya que dicen que la acustica es magnifica
(Translated by Google) The Franciscan convent of Morella was founded around 1270, with its community established in 1272. The work on the convent began at that time in the Gothic style typical of the time. Much of the cloister dates from the final decades of the 13th century, and work on the church also began then, although it will not be completed until the end of the 14th century. Exclaustrated due to the confiscation of Mendizábal in the first half of the 19th century, it was later used as a barracks, among other things, until it fell into ruin during the 20th century, at the end of which its restoration began. A typical building of the mendicant orders, its Gothic remains make it one of the most outstanding buildings in Morella. But it is the fresco painting that is preserved in its old chapter house that makes it a unique set. A work from the 15th century, a “Dance of Death” and a representation of it – Death – shooting an arrow towards a “tree of Life” are quite well preserved, iconography that is rare in the Iberian Peninsula. Today the convent is visited together with the castle, and in both a series of posters have been placed giving information about the different parts of the complex, highlighting the magnificent information panels in the chapter house about the paintings mentioned. (Original) El convento franciscano de Morella nace hacia 1270, estando asentada su comunidad en 1272. Las obras del convento comenzaron en esas fechas en el estilo gótico propio de la época. Buena parte del claustro data de las décadas finales del XIII, habiéndose también iniciado entonces la obra de la iglesia, si bien ésta no será terminada hasta finales del siglo XIV. Exclaustrado a causa de la desamortización de Mendizábal, en la primera mitad del XIX, fue después cuartel, entre otras cosas, hasta acabar en ruina durante el siglo XX, a finales del cual comenzó su restauración. Típico edificio de las órdenes mendicantes, sus restos góticos lo hacen uno de los edificios más destacados de Morella. Pero es la pintura al fresco que se conserva en su antigua sala capitular lo que hace de él un conjunto único. Obra del siglo XV, se conserva bastante bien una «Danza de la Muerte» y una representación de ésta –la Muerte– disparando una flecha hacia un «árbol de la Vida», iconografía poco frecuente en la Península ibérica. Hoy el convento se visita junto con el castillo, y en ambos se han colocado una serie de carteles en los que se da información sobre las distintas parte del conjunto, destacando los magníficos paneles informativos de la sala capitular sobre las pinturas comentadas.

Good exhibition about dinosaur remains in the area
Nice exhibition. Good quality fossils in great condition. My son loved the experience. However, it was a shame that there was no English translation of the exhibits. And the staff member was very unfriendly. It was obvious he had no passion to work there. Small tip: it is worth to find the dinosaur footprints outside of Morella. It was very exciting.
Very poorly presented. Not worse the time.
(Translated by Google) Museum with dinosaur remains from sites near Morella. It is beautiful and especially if you go with kids you can see it since it can be a fun activity for them. How it improves putting in a classroom, so that the children could enjoy this space more, would be great. (Original) Museo con restos de dinosaurios de yacimientos proximos a Morella. Esta bonito y sobretodo si vas con peques lo puedes ver ya que para ellos puede ser una actividad divertida. Como mejora el poner un aula, para que los niños pudiesen disfrutar mas de este espacio, estaria genial.
(Translated by Google) Photos aren't allowed... but the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. It's very interesting. I would have liked to see a longer, more up-to-date video (I think the one shown is over six years old). (Original) No se pueden hacer fotos... pero la recepcionista fue muy amable y atenta. Es.muy interesante, me habría gustado ver un vídeo más largo y actualizado (creo recordar que el proyectado tiene más de 6 años).
(Translated by Google) Perfect for kids. Calling to reserve the Escape Room is highly recommended. The museum manager assisted us throughout the game. And although he also had to assist arriving visitors, he always had a moment to help us on our adventure. A 10 for the museum staff. In addition, although the space is small, it has many interesting exhibits. Those interested in paleontology will love it. (Original) Perfecto para ir con niños. Es muy recomendable llamar para reservar el Scape Room. Nos atendió durante todo el juego la persona responsable del museo. Y aunque también tenía que atender a los visitantes que iban llegando, siempre tenía un momento para ayudarnos en nuestra aventura. Un 10 para el personal del museo. Además de eso, aunque el espacio es chiquito, tiene muchas muestras, muy interesantes. Le encantará a los interesados en palenteología.
(Translated by Google) Very fun and educational, very suitable for going with little ones. The bad thing is the parking, you have to park on the outskirts of the town, since it is walled and small there are no parking spaces available, but a step away from the center you have a public parking that is only paid on some occasions, we went on a Saturday in November and pay 2 euros for almost 3 hours. In the museum they show you a video that is very good, few people visit it, so you see it in a moment. It also has discounts for large families, it is economical. (Original) Muy divertido y educativo, muy indicado para ir con peques. Lo malo el parking, tienes que aparcar a las afueras del pueblo, pues al ser amurallado y pequeño no hay plazas de parking disponibles, pero a un paso del centro tienes un parking público que solo se paga en algunas ocasiones, fuimos un sábado en noviembre y page 2 euros por casi 3 horas. En el museo te pasan un vídeo que está muy bien, poca gente visitándolo, por lo tanto lo ves en un momento. También tiene descuentos para familia numerosa, es económico.
(Translated by Google) It is a small museum, but interesting, except for children. There is only one dinosaur seen in the photo. The other exhibits are bones, teeth, etc. It has a reading room. The ticket price is €2 for adults and €1.5 for a reduced ticket. (Original) Es un museo pequeño, pero interesante, excepto a los niños. Hay solo un dinosaurio que se ve en la foto. Las otras exhibiciones son huesos, dientes, etc. Tiene una habitación de lectura. El precio de la entrada son 2€ para adultos y 1,5€ entrada reducida.

Absolutely stunning Medieval historical area, the viaduct been built in 1318 and the Morella Castillo in the 1200' , a must see historical sights! Especially during almond trees blooming, the whole area is in pink!!!🤩🥰
The Morella aqueduct is a charming historical landmark with beautiful stone arches. Even if you can’t get right up to it, it’s a lovely sight to admire while exploring the town.
Parked our campervan here whilst we visited the castle, l8vemy place, had a cuppa underneath the viaduct
Fantastic ancient place with Arabic fortress from the 1300 century. A must visit!
Parked here to visit town , it was fine
Not entirely in tact, but saw a magnificent sunset behind this
The aquaduct certainly adds to the picturesque feel of the place, but by itself it is not something you want to visit.

I visited for several minutes and our guide told us so many interesting facts about this building, the city of Morella and their history.
(Translated by Google) Town hall of the town of Morella modern on the inside but preserving the entire structure of the town made of stone. Very touristy due to its history and its 13th century castle, which makes it one of the most beautiful towns in Spain.

La entrada gótica y los ventanales mudéjares destacan en su exterior mientras que en el interior conviene visitar el salón de sesiones con su excelente artesonado.

(Translated by Google) This comment isn't about the tourist office, which I didn't visit, but about tourism in Morella. The town is like something out of a fairy tale. It's surprising that in Spain, with so many ugly towns, where new buildings of dubious taste are mixed with architectural gems, in this case the beauty and homogeneity have been preserved. I believe that this area, on the border between the provinces of Castellón, Teruel, and Tarragona, has the largest concentration of beautiful towns in Spain. It seems that even among the residents there is a culture committed to preserving their heritage. (Original) Este comentario no es sobre la oficina de turismo, en la que no estuve, sino sobre el turismo en Morella. El pueblo es de cuento. Resulta sorprendente que en España, con tantos pueblos feos, donde edificios nuevos de dudoso gusto están mezclados con joyas arquitectónicas, en este caso se haya sabido conservar la belleza y la homogeneidad. Creo que en esta zona, en la frontera entre las provincias de Castellón Teruel y Tarragona, está la mayor concentración de pueblos bonitos de España. Parece que hasta entre los propios vecinos existe una cultura comprometida con la preservación de su patrimonio.

Awesome place to visit. Great place to take pictures. Eating out is also very reasonable.
The tourist information office just inside the main gate sold a combined castle/church/gatehouse/dinosaur museum ticket for €11 so we took advantage of that and then visited the Gate of St Michael. The steps inside linking each floor were very steep and there were various artifacts inside but descriptions were only in Spanish, as were the descriptions and plans of each of the city wall towers. There were impressive views from the roof although the wind was rather strong!
Fantastic historical site and the views are some of the best in Spain.
Wonderful old architecture, week worth walking around the walls
Best Spanish village I have visited.

(Translated by Google) In the center of the square we find a cistern or water well of Roman origin, with a medieval curb and protected by a small sentry box built in the 19th century. The parade ground has a surrounding wall reinforced by semicircular arches, some of them open, on which the guard patrol ran. Around the square there are a series of buildings and pavilions that housed the quarters of officers and non-commissioned officers. In one of the corners we find the remains of what was once a guardhouse. All the buildings that we find in this place were built towards the end of the 19th century. The castle remained in use until 1911 when it was abandoned by the military authorities. (Original) En el centro de la plaza encontramos un aljibe o pozo de agua de origen romano, con brocal medieval y protegido por una pequeña garita realizada en el siglo XIX. El patio de armas cuenta con un muro circundante reforzado mediante arcos de medio punto, algunos de ellos abiertos, sobre el que discurría la ronda de guardia. Alrededor de la plaza se encuentran una serie de edificaciones y pabellones que albergaban las estancias de oficiales y suboficiales. En una de las esquinas encontramos los restos de lo que fue un cuerpo de guardia. Todas las edificaciones que encontramos en este lugar fueron construidas hacia finales del siglo XIX. El castillo permaneció en uso hasta 1911 en que fue abandonado por las autoridades militares.
(Translated by Google) After its 90 steps you discover that your suffering gives you access to a small stone terrace in which the center is a dry cistern. Rooms full of banners with historical information and what is, was and will forever be a monument to those who fell in battle defending the walls. Anyone who has visited knows what I mean. (Original) Tras sus 90 escalones descubres que tu sufrimiento te da acceso a una terracita de pedriza en la que el centro es un aljibe seco.

Quién lo ha visitado sabe a qué me refiero.

(Translated by Google) The statue of General Cabrera, "the Tiger of Maestrazgo", is the work of the Valencian José Manuel García Cerveró, commissioned by the Castellón Provincial Council to celebrate the bicentennial of his birth - December 1806 -, inaugurated in 2006. Ramón Cabrera y Griñó, born in Tortosa, was one of the main Carlist generals, earning his nickname in the First Carlist War (1833-1840). His memory is linked to Morella, which he conquered in 1838 and which he successfully defended from the siege to which the liberal General Oráa subjected it. For this reason, the claimant Charles V granted him the title of Count of Morella. Cabrera did not accept the Oñate agreement (August 1839) that put an end to the war, remaining in Morella and the Maestrazgo until 1840, when he was expelled by General Espartero. Cabrera went into exile to France and, after participating in the Second Carlist War (1847-1849), to England, where he ended up recognizing Alfonso XII in 1875, who recognized him with the county title of Morella. He died in England in 1877. The statue represents him on horseback with his typical cap and cape, which he wore on campaign. (Original) La estatua al general Cabrera, «el Tigre del Maestrazgo», es obra del valenciano José Manuel García Cerveró, encargada por la Diputación de Castellón para celebrar el bicentenario de su nacimiento -diciembre de 1806–, inaugurada en 2006. Ramón Cabrera y Griñó, nacido en Tortosa, fue uno de los principales generales carlistas, ganándose su apodo en la Primera Guerra Carlista (1833-1840). Su memoria está ligada a Morella, que conquistó en 1838 y que defendió con éxito del cerco al que la sometió el liberal general Oráa. Por ello, el pretendiente Carlos V le otorgó el título de conde de Morella. Cabrera no aceptó el acuerdo de Oñate (agosto de 1839) que ponía fin a la guerra, manteniéndose en Morella y el Maestrazgo hasta 1840, cuando fue expulsado por el general Espartero. Cabrera se exilió a Francia y, tras participar en la Segunda Guerra Carlista (1847-1849), a Inglaterra, donde acabó reconociendo a Alfonso XII en 1875, quien le reconoció el título condal de Morella. Falleció en Inglaterra en 1877. La estatua lo representa a caballo con sus típicas gorra y capa, que llevaba en campaña.
