Nice visit - Very nice visit! To visit quietly. The stones of this castle are steeped in history. Accessible parking. Small shops very greedy regional groceries To be done again.

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...

What I'm going to try hard for, if I have enough for now. - We think they don’t care a little bit, as there are many people, so why try. We weren't offered the self-guide service. Besides, it's a little sloppy, they should take care of it, since they live on it. It's a shame what could be improved

Fantastic views - Admission to the Castle is 5€. Steep climb but worth getting to the courtyard. If you ask for a plan you can have information about the different places and uses. It is a shame that it is not better preserved, it must have been imposing at the time.

Broche de Morella - Climbing to Morella Castle is the must when visiting this beautiful town of Maestrazgo. The climb is an expensive but not exaggerated hill.

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.

Bad experience. - The person from the nasty entrance, did not guide us or answer our doubts. Follow the signs... We arrived at the museum and they were closing. If at the entrance we had been informed of the closing time we would have gone there in the first place. The person who was there, who was fulfilling his schedule, Tampico was not nice. You have 4 minutes, he told us. The facilities sloppy, dirty and with a clear lack of maintenance. We left disappointed and with a bad feeling. I don't recommend it right now. Pay to see that...

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!!!!!!
