Castellfollit de Riubregós
Belonging to the region of Anoia and located in the Vall del Llobregós is the communication gate between the Anoia and the Segarra. It has an extension of 26.28 km 2.
It is a town of medieval origin and born in frontier lands under the protection of a castle that still stands majestically among its own ruins. The municipality is currently made up of an urban nucleus and several scattered farmhouses.
The main economic activities are agriculture, livestock and services.
Of the most emblematic places of the municipality we can emphasize its narrow and steep streets, the small churches that can be found within the term and especially the old Benedictine monastery of the Priorat of Santa Maria.
In process of rehabilitation, this border and hospitable town conserves two of the four watchtowers that watched it during centuries. In the surroundings, you can also find fountains and farmhouses still inhabited located in beautiful natural landscapes.
