Talarn

Talarn stands on a hill above the Noguera Pallaresa in the country of Pallars. Its medieval walls protected a town that received the right to hold a fair and market in 1370. After the War of the Spanish Succession, the Nueva Planta reforms of 1716 replaced Catalonia’s older territorial divisions; Talarn became the seat of a corregimiento covering the valleys of Pallars and Alta Ribagorça.
