HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Morella Historic Town.
The town preserves nearly two kilometers of medieval walls with their gates and towers encircling the hilltop settlement, the ruined castle crowning its summit, and the basilica of Santa María la Mayor with its twin pulpits and spiral stair. The walls and castle are protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural under Valencian regional heritage law, with the town administered by its municipal council. The walled town is freely accessible, while the castle ruins are open on a ticketed basis.
About Morella Historic Town
A walled hilltop town in the Maestrazgo region, Morella grew around a Muslim-era fortress later expanded by Christian rulers following the thirteenth century Reconquista of the area. Its fortifications and castle controlled trade and mountain routes between Aragon and the Mediterranean coast. Morella prospered as a fortified market and textile town for centuries.
