Museum of Toys and Automata (The Museu de Joguets i Autòmats), Plaza Mayor 23, Verdú. The museum sets forth a collection of more than a thousand objects. It is distributed in three floors with a surface of more than 2000 m². The collection is formed by attractions of fair, bicycles, football tables, tin toys, cars of pedal, posters, scooters, games, and automatas. The building that accommodates it is the center of social life of the village.

The Hermitage of Sant Miquel sits on top of a hill that protrudes on the northern slope of the Puig Rodó. It dates from 957. The architectural characteristics of the building correspond to the Romanesque of the 12th century, although transformations and restorations have been made, such as the east wall which has a different arrangement of the stones, probably due to the movement suffered by the strong earthquake that struck the region in the 15th century. The bell tower on four sides and the porch on the west façade stand out.

美食

Wine is made under the Costers del Segre Designation of Origin, by the Vallcorb de Verdú winery, where they make two wines of the same name, Vallcorb blanc, a young macabeo and Vallcorb negre, a tempranillo with 6 months of age.
