Castillo de Morella

Built by the Iberians atop a rock, the fortress was particularly important in the Muslim period. Its walls are two and a half kilometres long and have 14 towers and six gateways, among which the Gothic gateway of San Pedro stands out. It consists of several parts, among which the Governor's Palace, the prisons, the parade ground or Celoquia tower are worth mentioning. The castle was a prison during the Middle Ages. It was declared an Historic-Artistic Monument by Decree on 3 June 1931.

Excellente image, les bâtisseurs ont su tirer parti des rochers.

A secure structure, probably impossible for an army in the middle ages to take.

I cannot imagine how these places were built without the use of today's Modern Construction Equipment.

Great capture to illustrate the incorporation of the natural formations into the multipurpose structure.
