Image of Torre del Compte, not of the place itself.

The town was born around a fortified tower that Ramón Berenguer IV ordered raised to watch the frontier with the Muslims, and from it it took its name. With the seigneurial lineage extinguished without heirs, the domain passed in 1307 into ecclesiastical hands until the disentailment.
