Morella
Completely encircled by over 2km of impressive medieval walls, Morella rises dramatically on a hillside crowned by its imposing castle. This perfectly preserved medieval town in the mountainous interior of Valencia province features narrow winding streets, Gothic churches, and Renaissance palaces. Its remote location has helped preserve both its architectural heritage and traditional crafts, including the production of blankets, cheese, and truffle-infused products from the surrounding forests.
