Can Maçana is an old farmhouse that gives its name to the hill in the westernmost part of the Montserrat massif. The pass is one of the natural passes between the regions of Bages and Anoia. The farmhouse belonged to the Maçana (or Massana) family during the 16th and 17th centuries. It later became the property of the Montserrat monastery (on the door you can see the coat of arms of the monastery, dated 1791).

This part of the massif is known for its famous stone needles (the area is known as "the labyrinth of needles"). At this point there is a car park and it is the starting point of numerous signposted routes, such as those that go to Sant Pau Vell (ancient Romanesque church) or the historical space of the Battle of Bruc.

Located in the municipality of El Bruc and located in the Montserrat Mountain Natural Park, this space occupies almost 7% of the natural park and is the main access point to the paths and rock spiers of this more unknown sector of Montserrat, where monoliths and vertical shapes make up a unique and wonderful labyrinth.
The Fundació de la Caixa de Catalunya recovered this entrance to the natural park on the northwest side to convert it into a leisure area and paid parking (it was free before). From this point, the itineraries that go to very popular areas of the mountain such as the Agulles, the Vicenç Barbé refuge, the church of Sant Pau Vell, the Cadireta...

The new point of attention for visitors to this space allows access to all the routes in this part of Montserrat with all the information necessary to enjoy them to the fullest, as well as discover corners more unknown to the general public, such as now the Historical Space of the Battles of the Heath or the church of Sant Pau Vell.

To do this, they demolished what was left of the old house which, due to its condition, posed a real danger.
