When you see the town from a distance, you can see the impressive and imposing walls that surround this ancient fortress, located high upon a rocky hill around 1000 metres high. Once you arrive, there are superb views of Morella and the region of Els Ports from the castle.
The walls of the old town and fortress measure around 2500 metres, and were of course, used to defend the inhabitants. Roman, Arabic and Iberian civilisations have all left their mark on the town and the fortress.
