Encyclopedic overview
La Quar ( Catalan pronunciation: [lə ˈkwaɾ]; locally [lə ˈkɔɾ]) is a small town and municipality located in the comarca of Berguedà, in Catalonia. The area is characterized by its isolated farmhouses and a few small settlements. Historically, the traditional center of La Quar was Santa Maria de la Quar, situated on a defensible rocky outcropping. However, this site no longer has permanent residents, and the center of the municipality has shifted to Sant Maurici de la Quar, located on the main road.
