Image of Vallbona de les Monges, not of the place itself.

Remains of the castle of Rocallaura, in the term of Vallbona de les Monges, of which no trace survives today. Rocallaura is a village situated at 649 metres above sea level, at the top of a hill at the foot of the Riera de Maldanell stream, north of the Serra del Tallat, near the boundary with the Conca de Barberà; it belonged to the abbesses of Santa Maria de Vallbona and had its own town council between the 1920s and the 1970s, when it was reintegrated into Vallbona de les Monges. The sanctuary of El Tallat is dependent on the village church, dedicated to Sant Llorenç.
