It conserves vestiges of past times that make time travel, among which the Saracen fortress of Siurana, capital of the valiato of the same name in the interior where the remains of one of the oldest mosques in Catalonia have been found. The Christian reconquest, which began Count-King Ramon Berenguer IV, consolidated the building of churches and monasteries with the aim of spreading the new faith.
