It is located in a privileged place at the foot of Montsant, at a point where the sun and shade of the mountain meet with the last arrears of the Serra de Prades. It is, therefore, a strategic enclave that has been known since ancient times. The origin of the town is Muslim: an almshouse in the surroundings of the Siurana castle. Near the town there are vestiges of settlement from this period: the tombs excavated in the rock of the Parada de la Guineu, burials of a small medieval community. After the Christian conquest, the inhabited nucleus developed, with the castle, documented in 1182 and of which very little remains.
