Morella, Medieval fortified town in Els Ports, Spain
The town stands at 984 meters elevation, protected by thick stone walls stretching 2.5 kilometers with multiple entry gates around its perimeter.
The settlement has evolved through multiple civilizations, from Iberians to Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, and Moors, who named it Maurela in 714.
The Sexenni festival occurs every six years, featuring nine days of traditional dances and processions to honor the Virgin Mary statue.
