The village is located on the crest of the Montclar mountain range, that crosses out from east to west.

Also, the upper floors were remodelled after the Christian Reconquest and currently show an elegant architecture of the Catalan Renaissance dating from the sixteenth to the seventeenth centuries.

Only six families have owned the Montclar castle from the Christian reconquest: the Tost (until 1067), the Cabrera (1067-1179), the Ribelles (1179-1418), the Pons (1418-1689), the Despujol (1689-1986) and Miguel (1986 to present).

The heart only accessible from above the castle and allowed nobles saw mass without mixing with the lower classes.

Hundreds of them died during construction and were buried in a mass grave in the cemetery of Montclar, hence we can see that this is unusually large for a town of this size.
