Beget

This municipality is a town where just over 20 inhabitants live. Its origin dates back to the Middle Ages , a period from which it has managed to maintain its charm and heritage, thanks to the fact that it has grown over the years around the Church of Sant Cristòfol de Beget, which dates from the period between the 10th and 13th centuries.

The town is also home to two medieval bridges over the Llierca river . Of interest is the cobblestones of the streets , which climb the walls of the houses, blending in with the landscape.
