Alàs i Cerc
Village
Alàs i Cerc is a municipality in the Alt Urgell, in the province of Lleida, formed in 1970 by the union of the settlements of Alàs and Cerc; its capital, Alàs, sits at 768 metres above sea level, in the upper valley of the river Segre, next to the Cadí-Moixeró natural park. Alàs is already documented in the deed of consecration of Urgell cathedral under the name Alasso, and its Romanesque church of Sant Esteve was donated to the bishopric of Urgell in 988 by Count Borrell II. The castle of Banat, whose ruins lie next to Cal Perot between Banat and Vilanova, originated at Banat Sobirà, documented since the 9th century, until in 1255 Galceran de Pinós moved it to the turó de Calbell, giving rise to the settlement of Vilanova de Banat, so named since 1290. The municipality has 320 inhabitants (INE 2025).
Castle of Banat
Monument
Considerable remains of an 11th-12th-century Romanesque castle atop a hill between two ravines, square in plan, about 20 x 10 m, with fragments of opus spicatum visible in some wall stretches, though the interior is covered in rubble and vegetation. The place name Banat, documented since the 9th century, gave its name to Banat Sobirà; in 1255 Galceran de Pinós moved the castle to the Serra del Calbell, where a new settlement was founded, first called Calbell de Banat and, since 1290, Vilanova de Banat.
