Estima Ocells Scarecrow Installation, Vallbona de les Monges

Highlight • Structure

Near Vallbona de les Monges, in Lérida, we find these so-called "scarecrows" that are there for the exact opposite, since it is part of a project called ''Estima Ocells'' (he wants birds) and on their heads, there are birdhouses, and thus, attract them. It is one of the most photographed places by bicycle lovers, in the province of Lérida.

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.

Font Baixa

Highlight • Monument

There is news of this fountain as early as 1151, but in its current form it dates from 1852, although the original project was never completed. The stone used in its construction came from an old obelisk that was in the wall of the old road from Poblet to Vimbodí. The number of pipes was also increased from the current 11 to 17 (one pipe for each letter of the town where it is located). Originally the pipes were made of bronze, but they were stolen in 1954 and replaced by iron ones.

Vallbona de les Monges

Highlight • Religious Site

The itinerary starts from the village of Vallbona de les Monges where the only female monastery of this itinerary stands. The first news of the monastery dates back to 1153 and was created in the unmistakable Gothic style that characterizes the main religious buildings in the region. Here, in the period of greatest splendor, up to 150 nuns came to gather, all from wealthy families.
