Geological spaces

The geological heritage of the Terra Alta is unique in Catalonia. Its prominence in the characterization of the natural landscape and the evidence of the relationships between the type of rocks, the structure of the relief and the distribution of the drainage network with human activities, defines a regional physiography that, due to the spectacularity of some places, has clearly influenced art and culture.

The quantity and great quality of the outcrops of the different geological units present in the Terra Alta make this region an exceptional area to study the lithological, sedimentological and structural characteristics that have shaped its physiograph.

In the central part of the region you will find several viewpoints with descriptive and interpretive posters to understand the richness of the geological formations of our region.
