3D Model

Vallfogona de Riucorb is a small village in central Catalonia country. The first historical reference to Vallfogona records the founding of the parish in 1123 after its reconquest from the Moors, who had called it Vall d’Alfes. The town was a fief of the noble house of the Counts of Queralt. By 1150, the local lord, Gombau d’Oluja, had occupied the site of Vallfogona and had repopulated the area with Christian Catalans. He laid out the town, building a small castle and beginning construction on the town’s Romanesque church, both of which still stand. On his death in 1191, Gombau ceded Vallfogona to the Knights Templar. When the Temple was suppressed in 1312, Vallfogona came under control of the Knights Hospitaller. In 1416 the Hospitallers reconstructed much of the church and castle. +info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vallfogona_de_Riucorb
