The anticline of Oliana is a structure clearly identifiable and is a very representative example of the eastern boundary of the south Pyrenean area, and his systems thrusts and folds, and relationships that took place between the tectonic, sedimentary and geomorphological processes.
In the northern flank of the anticline is a preserved collection of syntectonical sediments related to a series of thrusts that can define the sequence of this strain. The age of the sediments includes the Upper Eocene to Lower Oligocene.
