The Pla d’Almatà is the largest preserved Andalusine site in Catalonia and one of the principal sites of the ancient al-Àndalus, the country that the Arabs founded on the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to 15th centuries.

The Pla d’Almatà was the original centre of Balaguer Medina and one of this city’s main districts. The district is made up of a perfectly shaped urban development with residential areas, industrial areas, places of worship and cemeteries. The museum remains in the Archaeological Park are a residential area in which it is possible to visit four houses and two sections of streets.
