Siurana is a fairytale town that evokes the memory of the Middle Ages. It is cloistered over the river and to conquer the town the knights of four counts were required, as the Siurana castle crossed a border that ran from Coll de Balaguer to Tamarit de Gaià. It was finally conquered in 1153 after the fall of Lleida and Tortosa, making it the last redoubt of the reconquest. The most relevant building in Siurana is its Romanesque church, which has a doorway with a figurative tympanum framed by three semi-circular archivolts. In addition, it is one of the most important climbing destinations in the country and in the world.
