Maravilloso - The castle is stunning, worth visiting. The views from the top are stunning. You have to climb a lot to reach the top, but it is worth it without a doubt

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.

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.

Nice views, little girl. - The views from above are breathtaking, but the castle itself promises more from outside than it gives once inside. The visit is mostly from the outside. The explanatory panels disappointed us: they are sparse and barely explain anything about the castle’s history: most simply identify some of the elements (and with some misspellings: “algibe” hurts). Neither the lord of the box office nor the lady inside offered any information (not to give, nor the good afternoon gave us). Parts were seen with half-baked restoration works, which justifies the price: 5€ adults and 4€ children. It is true that there is quite a lot of surface, so in the end we were more than an hour. However, I would not recommend it.

Disappointing visit - First idea, I think that opening at 11 in the morning, in summer, is a barbarity, the visit is walking and walking, contemplate views, many climbs..., can collapse by the heat, it would be nice to open about 09:30. The place is very neglected, somewhat dirty, and generally unattractive, not worth the effort that must be made to climb to the top of it. Only the views of the village and the surroundings are worth it. I was disappointed, especially, because on the outside and from afar, it looks imposing and makes you imagine a different interior than the one you later find.

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...
