Località

On the foothills of the Serra de la Llena. From the ruins of the Venta (l'Hostal de la Serra), on the C-242 road from Ulldemolins to la Granadella, a path sets out that must be followed between almond trees, and shortly afterwards one reaches some bends that descend towards some fields, and 5 minutes later the Coll de Mònecs appears (on the ICGC: Colldemònecs), cut between two rocky masses; behind one of them, on the sunny slope, lies the cavity. Approximate coordinates.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Wide rock shelter: 35 metres wide by 5 high and 14 metres deep from the overhang to the deepest point of the concavity. It has walls built with dry stone that form various divisions and two levels.

Altri dettagli

Everything seems to suggest an old livestock farmstead that later became simply a sheepfold.

Storia

Known since time immemorial. Josep Lladonosa, a historian from Lleida, had indicated the possible existence of a Visigothic monastery in the surrounding area; if so, the Cova del Coll de Mònecs could have been connected with this monastery and, at the very least, it should be related to the refuges of anchorites that were quite abundant and traditional in the district.
