Main festival of la Palma d'Ebre, consecrated to the Virgin and celebrated on 15 August, in a Tarragona town of barely 300 inhabitants located about ten kilometres east of the Ebro river. Its historic centre, of irregular layout with narrow, steep streets, formed around the remains of the castle, the old prison and the Romanesque church of the Virgin of the Rosary, and was later expanded with the construction of the Baroque parish church of the Virgin of the Assumption, from the 18th century. The town retains other festive dates, such as the spring festival dedicated to Saint Catherine, organised between 29 April and 1 May by the town's unmarried young women, called caterines.
