It is situated in the centre of the [[Tremp basin]], on the [[Noguera Pallaresa]] river below the Sant Antoni [[reservoir]]. It is the site of a [[hydroelectric power station]] and of a training school of the Spanish [[army]] (''Academia Básica de Suboficiales''). The town is served by the C-147 road between [[Tremp]] and [[La Pobla de Segur]]. Talarn was originated on a hill around the former castle. It was an important fortified place and the chief town of the area of [[County of Pallars|Pallars]] in 1453. The arms (see image) show a wall, the enclosure around the town (at present day there are some remains of it), and the royal arms of [[Catalonia-Aragon]] (four pales Gules on Or), alluding to the royal jurisdiction (in 1370 the right to have a fair and market was given by the king, and the town had a representation in the [[Catalan Parliament]]). These arms were officially granted on 25 July 1991.
