Montblanc, Medieval municipality in Conca de Barberà, Spain

The town center features 1500 meters of medieval walls with 31 towers and five gates surrounding Gothic buildings and narrow streets.

Founded in 1155, Montblanc developed as a strategic settlement where Muslims, Christians, and Jews coexisted until religious conflicts arose in medieval times.

The Gothic church of Santa Maria la Major contains a wooden Virgin Mary statue and stands as the primary religious monument in the town.

The municipality connects to Barcelona and Lleida through Middle Distance trains, with the tourist office located at 56 Muralla de Santa Tecla street.

The town holds the Medieval Week festival each April, recreating the legend of Sant Jordi through performances and activities within its fortified walls.
