Culla, municipality of Spain

Culla is a small municipality located on a hill in the Alt Maestrat region of Castellón province. The village is divided into an upper town with stone walls and a lower town with whitewashed houses, both connected by narrow streets and centuries-old buildings.

Culla was connected to the Knights Templar in medieval times, and their presence remains visible in the ruins and certain structures throughout the village. The settlement later developed as a farming community, with its own castle and church becoming the core of local life.

The lower town displays whitewashed houses that reflect the village's connection to Mediterranean traditions. Walking through these streets shows how local architecture adapted to the coastal climate and culture of the region.

The village has uneven streets and narrow passages, so comfortable shoes are needed to explore properly. The place is small enough to visit in half a day or a full day, and local restaurants serve traditional dishes like olla del Maestrat and local sweets.

Torre del Frare Pere is a tall tower standing next to the castle ruins and serves as a notable landmark within the village. From the viewpoint called El Singlet, visitors can see panoramic views across the surrounding mountains and fields in all directions.
