The 5 towns that you must visit before leaving

It is a region with great natural landscapes and with many places of interest distributed among its different towns. We recommend the visit of at least the following five:

Manresa. It is the capital of the region and, in addition, it is the most populated municipality in all of central Catalonia. If we like something about the capital, it is that it has many buildings that belong to the cultural heritage. If we had to highlight any of them, we would recommend a visit to the Collegiate Basilica of Santa Maria de la Aurora. It is declared an asset of cultural interest and is part of the historical heritage of Spain. It is in the Gothic style and is also known by the name of "La Seu". In addition to this, we also love the old bridge located at the entrance of Manresa and the San Ignacio cave, declared as a heritage of local interest.

Castellbell y Vilar, in Catalan Castellbell i el Vilar. It is very beautiful to see because it is located between two natural parks and this makes its landscapes exceptional. If we had to highlight a couple of pieces of the historical heritage, we would highlight the Castellbell castle and the church of San Vicente de Castellet.

Castellgalí. This town is known for being in it the remains of a Roman tomb. Specifically, it is the Torre del Breny from the third century. Currently, it is kept in good condition, because it is being restored to avoid deterioration caused by the passage of time.

Mura. Being in a natural park has some very beautiful landscapes. If we had to choose two buildings to visit, we would select the Romanesque-style church of Sant Martí and the castle of Mura. Only some of its walls remain of the latter.

Monistrol de Montserrat. Probably, on a tourist level, it is one of the best known places in the region. It is the town where the Montserrat monastery is located. It is a cultural asset of local interest and, currently, many people are going to visit it. The construction dates from the 11th century and is in Romanesque and Gothic style.
