La Nou de Gaià
Village
La Nou de Gaià is a small municipality in the comarca of the Tarragonès, with 603 inhabitants, documented since 1011 as part of the donation of the castle of Albiñana. Linked to the lordship of Altafulla since the 11th century, it later passed to the Requesens and, in the 17th century, to the Montserrat family, until the end of the lordships; until 1916 it was called simply La Nou. It lives off dry farming, especially the vine, with an agricultural cooperative since 1963. It preserves the castle of the Baró de les Quatre Torres, built in the 18th century over the remains of a 12th-century building and declared an asset of cultural interest, and the parish church of Santa María Magdalena, also from the 18th century.

Monument
Castle of medieval origin, documented since the year 1011, on the fortified frontier of the Gaià line, transformed into a large residential manor house in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Linked to the Claramunt family in the 12th century, it passed to the Requesens family in the 14th, to Pere de Castellet in the 15th, to the Corbera-Santcliment family in the 16th, and to Francesc de Montserrat, marquis of Tamarit, in the 17th, a family that held jurisdiction until the 1837 abolition of the lordships. It preserves three towers -two rectangular and one lower hexagonal one- and in 1982 it was ceded to the municipality along with its gardens. A Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's top heritage-protection category).
