Siurana Village and Cliffs

Highlight • Settlement

Come to Siurana and discover a fairytale village that bears the memory of endless harassment and impossible conquests.

Trapped in an impregnable place on the river, the knights of four counts needed to subdue it. His castle defended an insurmountable border that stretched from the Balaguer pass to Tamarit de Gaià. Conquered in 1153, after the fall of Lleida and Tortosa, it was the last stronghold of the reconquest in Catalonia. If you look at the precipice around it, you will guess why it was not conquered for three centuries and why the end was so tragic.

Abdelazia, the Moorish queen, before being subdued by the Christians, preferred to fall on a cliff with her horse. And the animal, in its useless resistance, left its mark on the rock, forever more, the footprint of its horseshoe. And with it disappeared the last Saracen stronghold of Catalonia.

Today, we can see a charming village of cobbled houses and streets and the remains of the Saracen fortress, located at the entrance of the village. At its feet a swamp of clean and calm water offers the possibility of practicing all kinds of water sports.

The most important building in Siurana is the Romanesque-style church with a portal with a figurative tympanum, framed by three semicircular archivolts resting on columns with capitals decorated with various motifs.

The village is surrounded by interesting places and is a point from where you can enjoy magnificent views of the Sierra de Montsant, the Gritella and the Prades Mountains. Siurana stands out as a reference and destination for climbers and hikers. Its legendary cliffs are known around the world for these practices.
