Priorat is a comarca in Camp de Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain. The region is named due to the monastery of Scala Dei which held many properties and the capital is now the town of Falset. The central part of the comarca, Priorat històric, produces the highly regarded wines that are certified under the DOQ Priorat. Wines from elsewhere in the comarca are certified as DO Montsant although this region also has a small segment of the neighboring comarca, Ribera d'Ebre. However, galena mining was the main activity since prehistoric times until 1972, when the last galena mine closed.
