The chapel of Sant Miquel del Pla de Manlleu is a monument protected as a cultural asset of local interest in the municipality of Aiguamúrcia (Alt Camp).
Only the apse and the walls are preserved from the old Sant Miquel chapel. From the remains that are preserved, you can see its rectangular floor plan divided transversally into two bodies by a pointed arch of 19 stone dowels. The half-point access door is in the facade, although it originally opened into a side wall. Of the barrel vault, which has largely collapsed, the fit with the semicircular apse, which maintains its primitive roof, is preserved. The work is made of stone.
The church is documented in the will of Elisenda de Fonollar in 1247 and in other documents from 1308. In 1591 it had an annual benefit of 20 pounds that Don Tomàs Rourich received and it was already under the patronage of Sant Archangel Michael The chapel was abandoned in 1931.

The chapel of Sant Miquel in Pla de Manlleu is a small rural temple that breaks with the typical image of mountain hermitages. Located in the heart of Pla de Manlleu, it stands out for its agricultural and peaceful environment, far from monumentality and mass tourism: everything here breathes simplicity. Its facade and austere interior recall popular architecture more than the great medieval stone.

In MTB it is a different point to stop, with paths that cross vineyards and open fields, much more of a rural wipiperia than a classic postcard. The charm lies precisely in this: a discreet chapel that still today keeps alive the spiritual link with the territory and that offers you a respite before continuing to pedal along the paths of Penedès.
