It preserves the ruins of the termenat castle of Sunyer -from which Arab and medieval pottery has been recovered, and which in 1497 had 21 registered hearths-, the Romanesque church of the Nativity of Mary and the ruins of the sanctuary of Santa Lucía. Its economy is based on dry farming and sheep and pig raising, and its patron saints are San Isidoro of Seville and Santa Lucía of Syracuse. In 2025 it has 310 inhabitants.
Castle of Sunyer
Monument
A termenat castle that gives its name to the municipality of Sunyer, in the Segrià, built in the 12th century. It is first documented in 1218, when Ramon de Cervera sold the lordship to Arnau de Sanaüja; it later passed to the Sescomes and to the Borriac family, and from the 15th century belonged to the chapter of Lleida until the abolition of the lordships in the 19th century. Romanesque in style, its ruins stand on a hill to the northwest of the village: only fragments of the perimeter wall remain, up to two metres high, along with an underground gallery dug during the Spanish Civil War and a circular storeroom. Over time it served as a quarry for local buildings.
