It is believed that the origins of Arnes lie in a Saracen farmhouse that was later conquered by Alfonso el Casto in the 14th century. It is located at the gates of the Els Ports massif, very close to the Algars river.

Thanks to its privileged location and the influence of the greenway that passes next to the town, Arnes has developed a good range of rural tourism. In addition to the landscapes and nature excursions, Arnes has a beautiful historic center and a renowned building: the town hall building, one of the most important civil constructions of the Catalan Renaissance, built by Joan Vilabona de Queretes. The remains of the apse of the old Gothic church next to the current 18th century church have also been recovered. In 1992 the nucleus of Arnes was declared a Historic Site by the Generalitat de Catalunya.
