A Little History:
In 1153 Siurana was the last Muslim community to be invaded and conquered by the Christians. You will see why it was so well protected from invasions when you visit. Surrounded by high cliffs and with rivers and reservoirs below, it seems that this village is almost unreachable.
Siurana tells of the tragic story of Abdelazia, the Moorish Queen, who decided to jump from the cliff with her horse rather than be captured by the Christians. In the horse’s last attempt to hold onto life it’s footprint was imprinted into the rock, and this remains as a lasting memory of this tragic story.
