Montblanc gives off a medieval aroma, both for its streets and squares and for the imposing wall that surrounds it, one of the best preserved in Catalonia. It was built by Peter III the Ceremonious and 1.5 kilometres of it are still preserved, with around thirty towers. According to legend, Saint George killed the dragon right in front of the walls of Montblanc. This event is commemorated every year in the Medieval Week, during St. George's Day. It is the oldest historical festival in Catalonia. To learn the details of the historical passages of this city on the Costa Daurada, take a guided tour through several sections of the wall, which will take you to the tower of Pere III and through the roundabout that reaches the tower-portal of Sant Jordi. Don't miss the church of Santa Maria, a Gothic building from the 14th century popularly known as the mountain cathedral. Inside is one of the most important baroque organs in Catalonia. The church of Sant Miquel, of transition between Romanesque and Gothic, and the old hospital of Santa Magdalena, with a large Gothic cloister and a church from the 14th century, are also must-sees to check the monumentality of this city with character. If you want to combine heritage, culture and wine, Montblanc is the ideal setting. Here the architect Cèsar Martinell, a disciple of Antoni Gaudí, designed the Celler Cooperatiu de Montblanc in 1919, a three-nave building that you can visit. You can also sign up to do the Ruta del Trepat, from the DO Conca de Barberà, in which you will visit several wineries and taste the wine made with this typical grape variety of the area. Travelling the Cistercian Route is another option to get to know the surroundings of Montblanc. This long-distance trail, the GR-175, connects the three Cistercian monasteries in the area: Santes Creus, Vallbona de les Monges and Poblet. In addition to discovering the monasteries, you will also delve into the vineyard landscapes and get closer to the traditions and crafts of the area.
