What to see and do in Vallclara

Vallclara
Village
Small mountain municipality in the Muntanyes de Prades, documented in 1152 as Vallem Claram and under the dominion of the monastery of Poblet since 1220. Its old core is protected and preserves 17th- and 18th-century houses, the early 19th-century church of Sant Joan Baptista, and the gate as the only remaining trace of the castle.
Church of Vallclara
Monument
Church of San Juan Bautista de Vallclara, built as late as the 19th century, between 1804 and 1814 - blessed on 3 September of that year - reusing stones from the old Romanesque church, in a village documented in 1152 as Vallem Claram and under the rule of the monastery of Poblet from 1220; of the castle only the gateway still stands. In Baroque style with a Latin-cross floor plan with a plain apse and choir at the foot, its master builder was Francesc d'Asís Nadal i Roig and it cost 7,500 pounds; its façade displays a doorway with two pilasters with Ionic capitals, an empty niche and a circular window between two triangular pediments. It houses a Neoclassical altarpiece by Feliu Ferrer i Guasch, completed in 1862.
