Montblanc

Visiting La Conca de Barberà’s capital Montblanc is like being in a giant open-air museum. Founded by Alfons I in February 1163 on a small hill void of vegetation (hence its name, which literally means “empty mountain”) its monumental muralles (walls) are the most complete medieval defensive walls in Catalunya. With 25 towers and an impressive perimeter of 1700 meters, it boasts numerous Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque buildings within.
