In its beginnings, Figuera was under Arab domination. In 1148 it was conquered by Ramon Berenguer IV. Later, it passed into the hands of the episcopal barony of Cabacés. If you walk through the historic center you will find narrow and steep streets. One of the most emblematic buildings in the town is the parish church of Sant Martí. Dating from the 18th century, it has three naves and an attached bell tower.

Throughout the municipality of La Figuera there are many wineries that are affiliated to the DO Montsant. You can take the opportunity to take an oenological route and see what the whole process of winemaking is like. Along the way you will also come across farms that produce DO Siurana oil.

The Figuera observatory was used by the republican army during the Battle of the Ebro. This is due to the fact that it was a strategic point due to the fact that you can see up to forty kilometers of the Ebro River. Currently, this historic space is in a good state of conservation.
