To the north delineated with the gorge of Tresponts, on the south by the Spy bridge, east river Segre and runs west is the mountain of Santa Fe, which dominates the town. Organyà has a remarkable source used to supply the population, is the Font Snare.
From Organyà preserves the text is considered the oldest literary prose written in Catalan: Homilies d'Organyà them. This text was found in the rectory of the parish church of Santa Maria which hosted the priory. Today you can see a reproduction of the page in the tourist office of the population, although the originals are preserved in the Library of Catalunya.
The church of Santa Maria dates from the late tenth and early eleventh century, is Romanesque, like most areas, and has been renovated several times to maintain their structure and prevent the deterioration. At about 1200 meters above sea level, on top of the mountain of Santa Fe find the hermitage of Santa Fe de Mont-roi.
