About This Place
Plaça Major is the historic main square at the heart of Montblanc, a beautifully preserved medieval walled town in Tarragona, Catalonia. The square is surrounded by Gothic and Romanesque architecture and serves as the focal point for the town's famous medieval fair held each spring, which celebrates the legend of Sant Jordi (St. George) and the dragon. Montblanc itself is a delight to explore on foot, with its intact medieval walls, churches, and narrow stone streets all freely accessible.
