Travel to Albinyana
The municipality of Albinyana belongs to the district of Baix Penedes of the province of Tarragona. There is evidence of prehistory in the town, such as the cave paintings found by archaeologists in ‘La cueva de Vallmajor’, ‘Sierra del Quadrell’. Also there are ruins from the roman era. The name Albinyana appeared for the first time in the year 1010, in the will of Adalbert, who left the castle to the monastery of ‘Sant Cugat Del Vallès’.
According to the Cartulary of Sant Cugat, Albinyana was founded in the year 1040, when Abbot Guitart gave the ‘Carta de Població’ (a population permit) to Bernat d´Oleguer, on condition that he would build a castle and populate the place. Abbot Guitart kept half the tax privileges and the right to designate the priest for the Castle’s church.
From the ‘Reconquista’ to the year 1835 the town was under the ruling of the ‘Abades’ from the ‘Monastery of Sant Cugat del Valles’. The religious monument of the town is the ‘Parroquial Church of San Bartolome’, built in the XVIII century. On the Sierra del Quadrell there is the Chapel of San Antoni!
