Pla de l'Estudi
One of Morella's most photogenic squares, at the end of Carrer Blasco de Alagón and beside the gate of the same name, with white façades and wooden balconies. At its centre stands a large sundial by Morella-born sculptor Joan Valle. Humanities were once taught here, hence the name, and its open side looks out as a viewpoint over the Els Ports landscape.

Where the name comes from
Humanities were once taught here, and the square takes its name from that old study or school. The sundial standing out at its centre is the work of Morella-born sculptor Joan Valle, a detail many people photograph without knowing who made it.
The viewpoint
Its open side looks out as a balcony over the Els Ports landscape, with the mountains that ring the town. It is a good spot to pause mid-morning before carrying on to the castle or wandering the streets of the medieval old town.
