Wall of Morella

Monument · Morella, Els Ports, Castellón

The wall of Morella is the fortified precinct that surrounds the town, in the comarca of Els Ports, with a perimeter of about 2,500 metres, an average height of between 10 and 15 metres and a thickness of approximately two metres; it is preserved in very good condition and has a wall-walk that runs along its entire length. It stands on an earlier Muslim wall, from the 11th century, and its current structure was begun between 1324 and 1330 under the direction of the master builder Aparisi Joan, with later alterations in the 17th and 18th centuries. The precinct is punctuated by fifteen towers, among them those of Públic, Nevera and San Miguel, and seven gates, such as those of San Miguel, Forcall and San Mateo.
