Holiday cottages La Pobla de Segur

The origin of the Pobla de Segur is, like most of the towns in the region, medieval in the time of the reconquest, after the Saracen domination. The town is located on the site where the castle of Segur used to be, while three kilometers further on, there was the small town of Puig de Segur . It was in the s. XIII when the town of La Pobla de Segur was founded and the inhabitants of Puig de Segur moved to the surroundings of the castle.

La Pobla belonged to the viscounty of Vilamur , one of the feudal jurisdictions of the county of Pallars and towards the 15th century, it passed into the hands of the Cardona clan , who held it until the end of the old regime. It was also in the 15th century when the town was consolidated with its own market .

The old town of La Pobla de Segur preserves the structure of a medieval walled town and while walking along Carrer Major and Carrer de Sant Llorenç, you can discover some houses of the old nobility such as Casa Orteu and two portals of the wall : that of Orteu to the south and Parrau to the north.

The Town Hall and the Municipal Tourist Office are located in Casa Mauri, a modernist-style residence palace , built between 1905 and 1907. Casa Mauri recovers artisan trades by integrating the arts applied to architecture and highlighting especially the stained glass windows, mosaics and forging.

It is well worth visiting the old oil mill, a building presided over by the sculpture of Josep LLimona, reminiscent of a Romanesque church and which preserves the facilities of the first mill in the region that operated with electricity . Currently, it is used as a multipurpose room.

The parish of Santa Maria de Ribera (18th century) is a mixture of neoclassical and baroque styles and preserves an image of the Virgin Mary which, according to legend, was found on the banks of the river.

If you're staying in La Pobla de Segur, you can't miss the Museu dels Raiers to understand why a tradition so deeply rooted in the Pallars Jussà region.

A couple of kilometers from La Pobla de Segur, you will find the ruins of the Romanesque church Sant Miquel de Puig , the primitive church of the abandoned village of Puig de Segur, originally from the current Pobla de Segur, and where, annually, there is the Sant Miquel gathering .
