Impressive medieval wall that gave way to the road to the mountains of Prades. The Sant Jordi portal is one of the best preserved in Montblanc, where the three floors of the tower and the great fortified portal with a portcullis can be seen perfectly. According to legend, this is the place where Sant Jordi (Saint George) killed the dragon.

Deport Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is known that the Poblet forest is rich in springs. Undoubtedly the most well-known and popular are the Boixets fountain and the Deport fountain.

The Sport source is located under the Cingle de les Cabres. From this location, the trail leads up to the La Pena viewpoint.

The place has a lot of charm and in the past the monks had some kind of construction there (remember that the place is very close to the site of the old La Pena farm and currently a forestry house). These constructions were maintained after the exclaustration of the Poblet monastery, when the Pena estate was sold to private individuals and also later (in 1906) when it was expropriated to be reincorporated into the management of the forestry services. Currently, however, we can only find small evidence of those constructions.

The location of the Deport fountain has also had other changes or modifications over the years, and one of these was the location of the fountain itself.

Royal Monastery of Santa María de Poblet

Highlight • Religious Site

Monastery founded in 1150, when the church, the monks' refectory, the Sant Esteve chapel, the infirmary and part of the cloister were built. During the 13th century, the rest of the buildings in the complex were completed, with everything the monks needed for their lives here: chapter house, bedroom, cloister, kitchen, the scriptorium, the hospital for the poor and pilgrims, and the chapel of Santa Caterina. In later centuries the dome and the walls, the pantheon and the other royal constructions were added.

L'Espluga de Francolí

Highlight • Settlement

Municipality of the province of Tarragona, in the region of Conca de Barberà. The origin of the town is in the castle that Ponç de Cervera built on top of a nearby mountain in the 11th century. In the middle of the 13th century, the castle became dependent on the monastery of Poblet and the Templars, and in the lower part the encomienda of the Espluga de Francolí was established, under the jurisdiction of the hospital order. In the year 1312, the year of the extinction of the Order of the Temple, the Espluga de Francolí acquires the full señorío.

Among the cultural heritage stands out the old hospital of the Order of San Juan, which currently houses the Mosén Ramón Muntanyola library, the Museo de la Vida Rural, the modernist cooperative winery Celler Cooperatiu, the work of Pere Domènech i Roura, or the Fassina Balanyà, former alcohol factory, today converted into one of the twenty-five industrial museums of the System of the National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia.
