Family visit - A very interesting tour, which provides audio guide with QRs in the emblematic places without having to make an extra expense. Very entertaining for the general public.

Imposing - Although the climb is hard, it is worth making the climb to the parade ground, from where there are magnificent views of the city of Morella and the pastures that surround it. It has an audio guide with the mobile phone via QR code. Perfectly preserved, taking advantage of the visit to Morella, one more effort has its reward.

Hard climb but worth it - It costs more than you imagine but it is worth the climb. Beautiful views dominating incredible valleys. Of course, you have to do it as soon as you arrive...

December discoveries - For a fair price, you can get a gorgeous view while getting a little starter along the way. Inside, you get to see and learn about the castle's rich history. Outside, you get a good cardio and the most magnificent views. Note: accessible and very fun to do with your dog (our husky loved it 🥰)

A superb visit - A real enchantment, already when in the distance we can see this formidable defensive ensemble. The visit is pleasant to do, the panels well documented. Take the time to read and discover the history of this fortress from the Romans to its reconstruction, which is worth a stop. Bravo to the people who worked to rebuild this stronghold. Great activity to do in 2 hours without rushing.

Very interesting ruins of the main castle in Morella - Morella Castle is located in the upper part of Morella, on the top of a little mountain. Nowadays, you can visit the ruins of the castle, the walls and some main buildings, where there is an exposition about the history of the castle. Really the visit to the castle is very interesting and you can learn about the history of the castle and the region, and see very beautiful views of the town and the surrounding mountains. Very nice. Probably, the most important sightseeing in Morella.

Catastrophic Visit - Arrival on site with obligation to park on supposedly landscaped land We are directed directly in front of a bus to take us 300 meters further at four euros per place return (16€ in our case) Arriving at the entrance to the city, 1 in 2 businesses was closed, Only bars or brasseries remained Bad luck for us, storms break out on the scene It is therefore impossible to visit the castle, which is in fact just an uninteresting ruin. We head towards Bar Elisa to take refuge from these downpours 43€ for frozen products We go down to get our car, and disaster strikes us in this makeshift parking lot. After a few minutes we miraculously escaped. Nightshade town trap for tourists Farewell MORELLA, lost city!!!!!!
