La Mussara (from the Arabic musâra, 'walk, place to walk') is a depopulated area currently added to Vilaplana (Baix Camp). It is located in the Serra de la Mussara, in the Prades mountains, at an altitude of 990 meters, next to the Cingle de les Airasses, from which you can enjoy an impressive view of the south of Camp de Tarragona. The highest part of the term is 1,071 meters above sea level.
In the center of the old town there are eight buildings, all in a dilapidated state, of which the church of Sant Salvador (bell tower from 1859) is somewhat well preserved and, next to it, the house called Cal Cassoles. In the place called les Cinglallons there are seven more houses. On the other hand, in the old part of the town there are seven isolated farmhouses, of which the Mas del Pou del Gel, the best known, and the Mas del Peiró, where Neolithic pottery has been found, stand out. Other remains from the same period have been found in the Susanno forest (a tomb). The old town is included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.
When it rains, the water is retained in the small natural reservoir near the village and that is why the local people were called frogs.
