The Castillo de los Mur in Morillo de Monclús , a district of the Spanish municipality of La Fueva in the Huesca province of the autonomous community of Aragon , was originally built in the 11th century. The castle complex was classified as a Bien de Interés Cultural ( architectural monument ).

The fortified house with the remains of a medieval castle complex stands on the southeast side of an elevation that is protected on two sides by a steep slope. It consists of the manor house, the church and outbuildings. A 7.70 meter wide arch can be seen in the courtyard of the house. There is also the coat of arms of the Mur family who owned it.
