MONTSON Í S FALL IN LOVE WITH

The tiny mountain village of Montsonís was a place of great importance during the Middle Ages because of its location on the border of the Arab world. It is crowned by a castle, which used to take in the numerous pilgrims who walked the Way of Saint James. In the present day, the flag is still flying from the keep indicating that this fortress, which has been very well preserved, is inhabited and in use. By visiting the castle and the historical quarter of Montsonís you can imagine the day- to-day life of the inhabitants of the area in mediaeval times and be transported back centuries. Montsonís is one of the villages in the municipality of Foradada and it has the information point for the Montsec area. discover the Catalonia oF the borderlands
