It is in the Montsant river valley, on top of a rock on which it is clinging. La Bisbal stands out for its natural spaces such as the Santa Llúcia cave, a large cave, inside which there is a fresh water source and a space for barbecues. During the Upper Paleolithic period it had been occupied by a human settlement. However, within its more recent history during the Civil War, it was used as a rearguard hospital for the Republican army, during the Battle of the Ebro. Of particular interest is the church of the Nativitat de la Mare de Déu, in neoclassical and baroque style. More than half of the territory is cultivated land, while the rest is mainly occupied by forest land. The olive tree clearly dominates, followed by the almond tree. Thanks to the construction of the Margalef reservoir, peach cultivation has expanded considerably.
