Sightseeing Tours in Montblanc1. Sant Francesc de Montblanc
The convent of Sant Francesc de Montblanc could have been founded at the end of the third decade of the thirteenth century, perhaps where it is now or nearby and in a simple interim building. In any case, we cannot speak of extramurals for the sole fact that, at that time, the walls did not yet exist. Of the old convent only the church remains.
2. Santa Maria
Santa Maria de Montblanc or Santa Maria la Major is a fourteenth-century Gothic church in the municipality of Montblanc, with the main portal considered to be from the Renaissance. It is located on top of a promontory overlooking the old town of Montblanc. It is also known as The Cathedral of the Mountain. It is a work declared a cultural asset of national interest.
3. Sant Miquel
Sant Miquel de Montblanc is a church in the town of Montblanc. It served as a parish before and during the construction of the archpriest of Santa Maria. Catalan Courts were held there in 1307, 1333 and 1370 and it is a building protected as a cultural asset of local interest.
4. Portal de Bové
The walled enclosure of Montblanc is made up of the set of towers, portals and walls that surround the historic centre of the town of Montblanc, in the Catalan region of Conca de Barberà. It is declared a cultural asset of national interest: the fortified enclosure in the category of historical monument and the intramural complex as a historical complex.
5. Pla de Santa Bàrbara
The Pla de Santa Bárbara is a hill in the heart of the town of Montblanc, in fact a small plateau that rises about twenty meters from the surrounding land. This enclave was occupied by an Iberian settlement of the Cossetani tribe. The various archaeological excavations carried out in the twentieth century of the Iberian village documented a radius-shaped structure, with small rectangular houses attached to each other and silos that were used to store grain. The houses had a stone base and the elevation of adobe and plant elements. The dwellings were small, rectangular and with a fireplace. Along the wall, a construction bench served as a seat.
6. Sant Pere del Pinetell
The old village of El Pinetell de Barberà, of which nothing remains today, was located on the north side, and very close to the old road that connects Barberà de la Conca and Montblanc. It was located at the foot of the hill of Pinetell in the area of the same name, which today is shared by the municipalities of Barberà and Montblanc. It now belongs to the municipality of Montblanc.
7. Taula dels Quatre Batlles
The Table of the Four Mayors is a circular solid stone table, with four seats, located at the geographical point where the municipalities of Montblanc, Vimbodí and Poblet, Mont-ral and Prades converge. The coats of arms and the names of these four towns are engraved on it. It is located 300 metres south of La Mola dels Quatre Termes.
8. Museu-Arxiu de Montblanc
The Casal dels Josa or Cal Portuguès is a Gothic building in Montblanc dating from the thirteenth century and which today houses the headquarters of the Museum-Archive of Montblanc and the region, founded in 1958. The house is located at Carrer Josa, 6, within the walled enclosure of Montblanc and sheltered from the church of Santa Maria.
9. Ermita de Sant Josep
The hermitage of Sant Josep de Montblanc, in the Conca de Barberà, is a well-visited natural area, a place for holding gatherings and meeting campers. A small hermitage with great structural simplicity. Basically the interest lies in the stone arched doorway and a stone engraved on it, where an angel is represented. Built during the first third of the eighteenth century promoted by the merchant Francesc Sabater. During the nineteenth century it was owned by the Gassol family. In the course of the Spanish Civil War it was destroyed and remained abandoned for a few years. Thanks to the initiative and personal effort of Josep Civit i Solé, it was rebuilt. Subsequently, the municipal administration has taken care of the maintenance of the area.
10. Església de Santa Tecla
The Church of Santa Tecla is a church in the municipality of Montblanc included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. Located in Carrer de Baix, it is a small church with a very simple structure: a stone portal with the coat of arms and the Tau and a circular window. There is a semicircular door, possibly a work from the seventeenth century.
11. Església de l'Hospital de Santa Magdalena
The Church of the Hospital de Santa Magdalena de Montblanc is a religious building of Gothic art totally linked to the adjoining old Hospital de Santa Magdalena by history and construction. In fact, internally both buildings are separated only by a small courtyard.
