What to see and do in Cabra del Camp

Cabra del Camp
Village
Cabra del Camp is a municipality in the comarca of Alt Camp, in Tarragona, at an altitude of 493 metres and with 1,388 inhabitants. Its name comes from the castle of Cabra, documented from the year 980 and destroyed at the end of the 10th century, of which no remains survive today; until 1916 the village was simply called Cabra. It lives from rain-fed farming, with cereals, olives, vines and almonds, and forms part of the Ruta del Cister. In its territory lies Fontscaldetes, a ghost village uninhabited for more than 70 years, as well as a group of dry-stone huts listed in the Inventory of Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. In the Mas del Plata development stands a statue of Mazinger Z about 12 metres tall.
Castle of Cabra
Monument
The castle of Cabra, which gives its name to Cabra del Camp, is documented for the first time on 27 September 980, when Count Borrell II of Barcelona granted it to Ervigi and his family; it was then the most advanced position in the line of strongholds defending the county during the conquest of New Catalonia. It may have been destroyed around 985 by the raids of Almanzor or, later, by the Almohads. It passed in 1011 to the monastery of San Martín of the Isla Gallinaria, and in 1285 Count Peter II bequeathed it to Santes Creus; between 1698 and 1702 it was bought by Cristòfor de Potau, count of Vallcabra. Today it is destroyed and its location is uncertain: traditionally it was placed at the top of the village, although recent studies place it at Castelltallat.
