Vallbona de les Monges
Lleida · Cataluña
Vallbona de les Monges (Catalan pronunciation: [ˌbaʎˈβɔna ðe lez ˈmɔɲʒes]) is a municipality in the comarca of the Urgell in Catalonia, Spain. It is located at the southern end of the comarca, north of the Serra del Tallat, Catalan Pre-Coastal Range, where many wind turbines have been installed. The town has the most important convent in Catalonia, the Monastery of Santa Maria de Vallbona, belonging to the Order of Cistercians. The main income is derived from wine and olive oil production, as well as some cattle rearing. There is some tourism as well, but not enough to significantly lift the economy of the area.

History
Hacia mediados del siglo XIX, el lugar, que por entonces era cabeza de un municipio al que también pertenecían Rocallaura y Montblanquet, tenía contabilizada una población de 537 habitantes. Aparece descrito en el decimoquinto volumen del Diccionario geográfico-estadístico-histórico de España y sus posesiones de Ultramar de Pascual Madoz de la siguiente manera:
Hacia 1930 Rocallaura se segregó del término de Vallbona de las Monjas. El 9 de julio de 1970 se fusionaron de nuevo los municipios de Vallbona de las Monjas y Rocallaura.
