The frontier of the March at Montmell

Historical milestone · el Montmell, Baix Penedès, Tarragona

Image of el Montmell, not of the place itself.

The sierra was during the tenth century a frontier line between the Catalan counties and the Andalusi territories. Its castle, documented in those years, controlled the passes towards the plain and organised the later repopulation of the Penedès.
