Located at an altitude of 880 metres, Gallicant is a district of Arbolí that was inhabited until the 20th century. Due to the lack of resources and water, the residents of this village had to go and live in Arbolí. From there they returned every day to work the land. It is currently in the process of restoration to bring this corner back to life.

Gallicant is a village located in the municipality of Arbolí. Today it is completely abandoned, but it is known that it was one of the oldest in the region. The Gallicant fountain, hidden in the middle of the brambles and which bears the date of 1972, is known to have been built near the town itself and to have collapsed due to neglect.
Occupying a lofty place, at an altitude of 860 m, the town of Gallicant was built on a plateau just below the northern slopes of the Puig de Gallicant, with its back to the valley and the course of the Siurana River and the Sierra de la Gritella and Montsant. It is an exceptional viewpoint of our regions!
The place was hopelessly depopulated after the civil war, something very common in the farms of the term and others nearby, but some owners still stayed there at harvest time. Most of the inhabitants of Gallicant went to live in Arbolí. The houses of Gallicant, despite being in the area of Arbolí, ecclesiastically corresponded to the parish of Siurana, of which the church of Arbolí was suffragan, and was so until very late, probably until mid-November of in the year 1851.
