History

Although it has not been possible to prove it with documents, some historians believe that La Galera has an ancient Roman origin.

However, the earliest documentary evidence about the town is in 1320 when James II of Aragon authorized the control of the village known as Pobla de la Galera to the Archbishop of Tortosa. It is believed that the population had begun to establish itself here by 1303.
