Take your time and enjoy it
If I had to choose the most impressive thing about this city, it would be the silhouette the of the castleas you’re driving up to the city. It seems like a three-layer cake, with the castle standing on top.
Tours of the castle begin atthe San Francisco covenant, where they provide you with great information about the place.
It was declared a historic-artistic monument, the castle rises above the city. It was built in the 18th century by a very recognizable Islamic defensive architect. On the tour, you’ll pass through all three levels, following the signs which give you plenty of information. They don’t just give you the name and the year, but put everything in its historical context.
Once you arrive at the highest point (it seems like the stairway is never ending), the castle provides you with incredible views of Morella and the Els Ports region.
I always recommend to take you time here and soak up everything you can. Observe, read, take pictures, learn. The Morella caste is like an open book of history and art, just waiting for you to read it. It’s great to visit with children and adolescents, as well. My nieces freeze up when they enter the prison chamber and read about the living conditions of the prisoners.
Great memories on a great summer afternoon.
