The hermitage of Sant Josep de Montblanc, in Conca de Barberà, is a very visited natural space, a place for gatherings and for campers to gather. Hermitage of small dimensions and great structural simplicity. Basically, the interest lies in the stone voussoired doorway and an engraved stone above, 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.

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 extramurs simply because, at that time, the walls were not yet there. Of the old convent only the church remains.
