This locality was reconquered by Ramon Berenguer IV and its land passed into the hands of Count Arnau Mir de Pallars Jussà, who distributed the land among his knights. Guillem de Benavent was responsible for populating the current territory.

Alendir , the depopulated and old term of the municipality of Benavent de Segrià, remained in this situation during the War of the Reapers and corresponds to the site of the old Islamic castle of Alendir, repopulated by Guillem de Benavent himself, who gave rise to the town of Benavent

In the village of Benavent de Segrià, the neoclassical church of Sant Joan Baptista stands out, built during the 18th and 19th centuries, which has an imposing octagonal bell tower and a baroque portal.

Also, if you walk along Carrer de les Escoles, you will be able to see a century-old mulberry tree , which is part of the Segrià tourist route of centuries-old trees.

In Benavent de Segrià, the Trullets , ancient wine and oil tanks dug into the rock, are preserved in fairly good condition.

These remains are part of the inventory of Catalan heritage and to get there, you can follow the path from the raft until after the raft, the trullets appear on both sides of the path.

Another excursion from the town is the one that goes to see the very dilapidated remains of the monuments that gave rise to the town: the Grallera tower and the Alendir castle .
