Terra Alta, Administrative division in western Tarragona Province, Spain

Terra Alta spans 743 square kilometers across twelve municipalities in southern Catalonia, with mountains reaching heights of 950 meters above sea level.

The region was formerly known as Castellania during medieval times, governed by the Order of Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem.

The modernist wine cooperatives constructed in the 1920s by Cèsar Martinell, a student of Antoni Gaudí, represent the architectural heritage of the region.

Gandesa, the capital city with 3,091 residents, serves as the administrative center and houses the Terra Alta Comarcal Council headquarters.

The combination of Mediterranean and continental climate patterns creates conditions where temperatures range from 23°F in winter to intense summer heat.
