The church sits majestically on the rock, towering over the city of Manresa. With a little imagination, one could imagine the church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary as a patron saint—and given the papal honorary title of basilica—as a heavenly crown, majestically proclaiming the praises of God on earth.

The Old Bridge of Manresa (Pont Vell) is one of the city's most emblematic monuments and forms part of its most distinctive skyline, along with the Basilica of La Seu and the Cave of Saint Ignatius. Of Roman origin, the current structure is a faithful reconstruction of a 12th-century medieval bridge. It was destroyed in 1939 during the Civil War and rebuilt between 1960 and 1962 by architect J. Pons Sorolla.

The Cathedral of Manresa, officially known as the Basilica of Santa Maria de la Seu, is one of the most emblematic monuments of Catalan Gothic architecture and a historical and spiritual symbol of the city of Manresa, in the heart of Catalonia. Its origins date back to the 9th century, when the first place of worship was built on Puigcardener hill, the site of the city's founding. In the 12th century, a Romanesque church was erected, of which elements such as the tympanum of the doorway, a window, and the cloister are still preserved. Over the centuries, Baroque elements (such as the bell tower and the crypt in the 18th century) and Neo-Gothic elements (such as the façade and the baptistery in the 20th century) were added. The basilica has survived wars and losses of heritage, but continues to bear witness to the history of Manresa.

Pleasant walk through Talamanca and its surroundings with a moderate slope. The route runs along well-marked tracks and is marked with milestones with white and green labels. With this itinerary we will discover the medieval origins of Talamanca based on its cultural and natural heritage. The route follows a section of the stream between small gorges and waterfalls that have emerged between the rocks. The itinerary discovers constructions such as the dry stone huts, the water lilies or the unique area of the balma salt of the Gobians and a part following the stream bed, scene of one of the most important battles of the war of succession. Part of the excursion goes through Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac Natural Park.

The original building, built in the 11th century, was the embryo of the town and the political center of the district. It was part of the network of castles aimed at the defense of the colonists who repopulated the lands conquered by the Saracens. In the twelfth century, the Saracen threat faded but the process of feudalization caused disputes between Castilians for control of the castle, with several sagas taking place: the Cardona, the Talamanca, the Castellbell. In 1717, Bourbon troops demolished the castle, a fate shared by many of the castles of Old Catalonia. In the 18th century, the Castellbells built the manor house with a tower.

Collbaix is a 543 meter peak, located in Sant Joan de Vilatorrada. It is the highest in the district of Manresa, to the west of Pla de Bages, which has an excellent observation point. It is listed as a large park by the Planning Plan of Manresa. The mountain is located between the streams of Rajadell and Fonollosa. The south side belongs to Manresa, the east to Sant Joan de Vilatorrada, where the town's expansion area is located. Rajadell has the area of Punta Sabata and Fonollosa with most of the summit, the west and the obac slope. Collbaix originated from the erosion of the surrounding land. A resistant layer of conglomerates protects the flat top from erosion, forming a plateau. The summit is made up of large blocks of stone separated from each other. At the top we can find a geodesic vertex (reference 280109001) A metal table with an engraved map of the region. This peak is included in the list of the 100 peaks of the FEEC.
