Discover Les Valls D'aguilar: Village Culture and Hiking Trails

Noves de Segre is located on a slope above the confluence of the river de la Guàrdia, also known as Ribablanca, and the river de Pallerols, also known as Sargatelles; the confluence lies shortly before they flow into the Segre. For your travel preparations, the full names of the waterways and the hillside location can be recorded as clear notes about the place.

Townscape and History

Traditional architecture is concentrated in the upper part of Noves de Segre. There are adjoining houses with two or more storeys. The buildings have double-pitched tile roofs, so the construction style is precisely described by the continuous row of houses, the number of storeys and the roof design. Noves de Segre was once fortified. The houses formed part of the fortification wall. Anyone exploring the village through its architectural details will therefore find a historic residential structure whose former function was explicitly connected with the fortifications.

The church of Sant Serni de Noves de Segre was classified as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL) on 18 October 2004.
