Convent de Sant Francesc de Morella

This large Moorish castle was largely built in the 13th century atop earlier Iberian and Roman foundations, and later modified during the medieval period. The castle was taken by the mercenary El Cid in 1084, but fell back under Arab control until the arrival of Jaime I and the reconquista in the 13th century. The castle was fought over during a number of later wars, most recently during the Spanish Civil War. Although now mostly in ruins, there are several interpretive exhibits (Spanish only), and there are great views from the top.

Constructed mostly between the 13th and 14th centuries, and completed in the late 16th century, the church is considered to be an excellent example of Valencian Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Especially noteworthy on the exterior of the building are the two main entrances: the larger gate of the Apostles (from the 14th century), and the smaller gate of the Virgin (15th century). Special features inside include the spiral staircase leading to the choir, original stained glass windows from the 14th century, the churrigueresque Baroque altar, and the organ, which is considered to be one of the best in the Valencian Community.

Has a collection of medieval paintings, manuscripts, and religious art from the 15th to 19th centuries.

The building dates from the 14th century, and has two Gothic rooms on the ground floor used for art exhibits and cultural events.

The small museum showcases dinosaur bones and other fossils discovered in the area, and has an interactive exhibit popular with children.
