The Forna Castle is a feudal palace-fortress, built in the first half of the 15th century, which is part of the Valencian civil Gothic style. It is a quadrangular building with four towers at each corner and a two-level central courtyard, which provides access to all the castle's rooms. On the lower floor of Tower 2, one of the best sets of graffiti from the period can be seen, depicting scenes of chivalry and the sea. It is a monument of very high heritage value, protected by the Decree-Law of April 22, 1949, on the protection and inventory of all castles and military architecture, and therefore included as a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest) in the Spanish Historical Heritage Law 16/85 in the second section of the additional provisions and Law 4/1998, of June 11, of the Generalitat Valenciana, of Valencian Heritage.

Description The Ermita de la Sangre in Murla is a small church located in the heart of the town. Behind its walls lies a long history. The building's history stretches from the Middle Ages to the present day, resulting in various uses and changes to its appearance. The Ermita de la Sangre in Murla was restored in 1979. It is a semi-detached building with a vaulted ceiling and two transverse arches, above which, from the altar, stands the image of Ecce Homo. To one side is the old Chapel of San Francisco de Borja, which has housed the image of the town's patron saint, the Divine Aurora, since 1856. History The Ermita de la Sangre in Murla has a centuries-old history. Although the exact date of its construction is unknown, all indications point to around 1591. The building was formerly the city's old women's hospital, which, like these rooms in the Middle Ages, was converted into a hermitage invoking the Blood of Christ. However, it had been used as a prison long before that. In 1600, the prison was located within the hospital, but the diocese at the time decided to separate them. Documents indicate that the old prison was located where the image of the divine Aurora is currently situated.
