Between 1128 and 1136 Hugh of Rigaud had charge of Templar possessions both in Catalonia and in the districts to the north of the Pyrenees, where the counts of Barcelona had political interests;
The linking of these districts with Catalonia and Provence was presumably occasioned by the political union of Aragon and Catalonia, just as later in the twelfth century the cession of certain parts of Navarre to Castile appears to have led to the transference of Templar rights in these districts to the Castilian province.
Palau, to the north of Barcelona, was not a very convenient site for a convent, since the commander had frequent business with royal officials in Barcelona and with Barcelona merchants who transported Templar supplies [102] to the East.

 Tarraco
During this period, the loss of Tarraco's status as capital in favour of Tolosa (Toulouse) and then of Barcino (Barcelona), and finally (in the 6th century) of Toletum (Toledo), meant that city grew out of touch with the decisive political centres of the period.
This resulted in the destruction and the abandoning of much of the city, apart from the higher districts which later became the city centre.
Simulataneously, Tarraco was founded, as the main winter base for the Roman troops in Hispania, thus beginning the long and complex process of the incorporation of Peninsula territory into the new political, cultural and economic order of the Romans, a process in which Tarraco was to play a vital role.
