Siurana  an enchanting cobbled street hamlet perched on a rock over river Siurana  is a great spot from where to enjoy the splendid views of the Montsant mountain range, the Gritella mountain range and the Mountains of Prades. At the foot of the rock  is the Siurana reservoir  with clean and calm waters.

Today, presiding  the entrance of the village visitors can see the remains of it’s Moorish castle If  and if they  look closely at the surrounding cliffs, the permanent imprint of a horseshoe on the rock is vible as before being overwhelmed by the Christians, the Moorish queen, Abdelazia, preferred to cast herself off the summit with her horse and the animal tried to resist himself from falling and thus left his imprint there.
The most impressive building nowadays in Siurana is the Romanesque church. It was built after Berenguer IV’s troops conquered the village, in order to bring Christianity back to the region. The doorway has been exceptionally well preserved with a figurine tympanum, framed by three rounded archivolts resting on capitels with various decorative motifs.
