Siurana, Medieval fortress site in Cornudella de Montsant, Spain.
The village stands on a limestone cliff at 737 meters elevation, protected by natural walls and steep drops overlooking the Siurana reservoir.
The settlement remained the final Moorish stronghold in Catalonia until 1153, following the capture of major fortifications in Lleida and Tortosa.
The Romanesque church features preserved stone carvings, rounded arches, and decorated capitals that reflect the Christian architectural influence after reconquest.
Visitors can access guided tours of the medieval settlement every second Saturday at noon, with additional theatrical presentations scheduled monthly.
The rock formations surrounding the fortress contain climbing routes that attract international mountaineers throughout the year.
