Ruta Templera i Hospitalera (L'Espluga de Francolí)

Web Book online

Discover L'Espluga de Francolí through a tour of the town's old town.

Different audiovisual presentations will immerse you in the daily life of the lords, the peasants, the Jews or the artisans and you will see what a town was like in the 14th century.

You will visit the Old Church and the hospital for the poor, be amazed by the virtual recreation of the castle that once dominated the town, and learn about the origin and extinction of the military orders of the Templars and Hospitallers.
