General Vista of Peramola.
The term of Peramola is located in the South part of the Alt Urgell, between the municipalities of Coll de Nargó, Oliana and Bassella. One extends from the right margin of the Segre to the limit with the region of the Noguera, and from the mountain range of Aubenç, to the north, to the abutments of the mountain of Sant Marc, to the south. In the middle of the term is the emblematic mountain of Sant Honorat. They furrow to the term several torrents and precipices, like the Salat, the one of Rumbau and the one of Nerola. To the municipality of Peramola it is possible to be acceded from C-14 (old C-1313), to the height of the bridge that crosses the Segre under the prey of Oliana. All the inhabited nuclei of the term are communicated by asphalted local highways.
In century XI, Peramola belonged to the horseman Arnau Mir deTost. More ahead, the castle of the villa was center of baronia of Peramola, satately jurisdiction that almost included/understood the totality of the present municipality. The writers Josep Espunyes and Joan Obiols and painter Francesc Riart are children of Peramola. The agricultural and cattle base of the term, centered in cattle and pig, has been diversified these last years with an increasing incidence of the sector of services, specially those directed to the tourism: hostelería and restoration, hiking, deprived area of hunting..., guaranteed by its attractive natural surroundings. Next to the Segre there is one of greatest piscifactorías of Europe. Most of the population it lives in the villa of Peramola, head of the municipality, and the rest in the nuclei of Cortiuda, Nuncarga and Tragó. 

 

The route of the Corb. This itinerary, to do on foot, is properly signalized and it will allow us to know some the paradisíacos places of the term of Peramola. One leaves this villa and it is continued by the Grau de Porta, until the imposing rock of the Corb, formed by conglomerates of type montserratíno. The excursion continues around the rock, to return later by the same initial way until Peramola

The Romanesque one. The small church of Sant Miquel de Peramola, located in the low part of the villa, is a building of a single ship, very short, cover with return of tube and finished to the East with a semicircular apse opened to the ship directly. The door, located in the facade the west, has an arc of average point adovelado and flanked by two rectangular windows. There are two windows more, one of double spill in the center of the apse and another one in the South wall, of a single spill. The apse is ornamented externally with friso of lombardos arcs, that repeat to the facade the west. Santa Maria de Castell-Llebre, located at the top of a rocky knoll, emphasizes by her bell tower of square base and geminadas windows. The place of Castell-Llebre (Kastro Veteri) appears mentioned for the first time in a document of year 942, whereas in year 995 we already found references of a consecrated church to Santa Maria. The church, located in the top of a rocky knoll, is a building of a single ship covered with vault of tube of pointed profile and reinforced by two torales arcs. In the apse, of prolonged semicircular base, to two windows of double spill and one small opening are opened on the arc of communication with the ship.

Santa Llúcia de Tragó (Draago) is specially remarcable by her trevolada head. The church of Swallowed (Dragon tree) appears documented year 1279 for the first time. Before being dedicated to Santa Llúcia it had been under the invocations of Our Lady of the Roser and Santa Maria of the Pla de Tragó. It is a building of a ship, cover with vault of followed tube, section semicircular and reinforced by two torales arcs. The head, in form of trébol, is formed by a central apse and two lateral absidiolos of reduced dimensions more. In the center of each apse there is a centered window of double spill. One fourth window, in the west facade conserves painting vestiges mural. The door is opened in the South facade, with a adovelado arc.
