Fregi is the name of the hedgehog of our region that wants to explain the history of Freginals village in a simple and understandable way. We will leave Fregi to explain.Hello! I am the hedgehog Fregi, and I live in your village. Since I first moved here I liked life in the Montsià region, because it is not a very high area, where cold is hard, nor is it to low where you would not see anything. The Montsià Mountain, at its higher point, has a maximum altitude of 765 meters. From there I have seen many things.
First, let us place Freginals in the map: Freginals it is in the region of the Montsià, placed in the south of Catalonia. Freginals is 126 meters above sea level and the Montsia Mountain takes up 17'3 kilometres square in land area. The top area of the Montsià Mountain is 918'90 hectares
The most ancient settlers have left evidence of their existence in this area by painting some very beautiful fig
ures in some caves near here. These caves are on the Sierra Godall Mountain directly in front of the Freginals railway high on the mountainside. They are the cave paintings of the tribes of the Masets and of the Llibreres. The tribe of the Masets drawing is distinguished by an archer with red paint and the tribe of the Llibreres by drawings of deer.The same people who made these beautiful paintings, also manufactured tools to work with.
The FREGINALS word comes from the ancient Romanesque "Farraginale", that means a field of fodder, that is, that our terrain was destined long ago for fields or meadows to supply with fodder to the livestock of the region. The fodder is the sown wheat that is very dense and is reaped without ripening, in order to give the food to the livestock.
The flag of Freginals is three unripe clover leafs on a white cloth as this shows the history of ‘Farraginale’ as an area of the planting and harvesting on unripe fodder crops for the animals.
Before the year 1148, Freginals belonged to the Moorish king Taifa of Tortosa. In the year 1148, Ramon Berenguer IV conquered the kingdom of Tortosa with the help of many noblemen, among them one coming from Santa Maria de Miralles (near Igualada). In gratitude, Ramon Berenguer IV granted the Baron of Miralles the possession of the territories where now Freginals is.
On 12 March of year 1274 the hospitable command of Ulldecona, Bernat de Ribelles, started the colonization of our land around Freginals by granting an extension to the inhabitants of the land that was full of natural vegetation and developed it to the grazing for the pe
oples cows.
Until the year 1283 the people had to sleep within the walls of Ulldecona, but from this year, with a letter to the population conceded by the command of Cervera and Amposta, Guillem de Claramunt, it allowed them to remain living and sleeping on their land, At this time they constructed a small church for the Christian cult.
