Moriella
Modern Name: Muriella.

Town, 106 km from Castellon, considered an architectural jewel of Valencia province. The castle dates back to pre-Roman times, and was improved by the Romans and Moors. It was reconquered in 1235.

The modern city includes 14th Century wall, the ruined castle destroyed in the Carlist wars, the 13th Century Iglesia Arciprestal with numerous medieval codices, and the ethnological museum housed in the fomer Covent of San Francisco.
