Vilaplana is a small village (considered a nucleus) in the province of Lleida, and when we say small, we mean a municipality with no more than 20 inhabitants. It is a population reduced to just a few houses, the village church and a few farmhouses in the surrounding area. 

Despite its size, Vilaplana was an independent village until the mid-19th century, when it became part of the Barony of Rialb. Read on and discover all that such a small place has to offer, and we are sure you won’t be disappointed!

Places of interest in Vilaplana and surroundings

As we have already mentioned, although it is a small municipality, it has nothing to lose. So, here is a list of places not to be missed. Moreover, even if you visit this place in the middle of winter, the streets will not be frozen, as they have a system for distributing heat to all the houses in the village: it is a central boiler that burns raw material from the surrounding forests.

  • Church of Sant Miquel: It is Romanesque in style and forms part of the group of churches belonging to the parish of Tiurana.
  • Castle of Vilaplana, of which there are references from the year 1041. 
  • It is very important to enjoy the views, as from the village you will be able to see the famous Rialb reservoir. It is well worthwhile to stroll along the surrounding paths and enjoy the peace and quiet.
