Ager

Àger has served as a frontier stronghold in Catalonia since the 11th century. Set beneath the limestone ridges of the Montsec range, the town occupies a strategic position between the Pyrenean foothills and the Lleida plain. The ruins of Àger Castle and the Romanesque collegiate church of Sant Pere recall Arnau Mir de Tost, the nobleman who made the settlement the centre of his lordship after its Christian conquest. Montsec’s notably dark skies also support the nearby Montsec Astronomical Park, while the surrounding slopes are well known to walkers and paragliders.
