A few months ago I covered the route from the R 3 train station, from Farga de Bebié to Montesquiu Castle and back to Sant Quirze de Besora Pueblo de la Ratafía: It is approximately 5 km. It is worth it, it is a very beautiful route.

The Montesquiu castle, in the Osona region, is a beautiful example of a recently restored medieval fortification. Built, surely, during the 13th century, it formed a defensive triangle together with the castles of Besora and Saderra.

The hermitage of Sant Moí is a beautiful Romanesque hermitage belonging to the municipality of Santa Maria de Besora, in the Osona region. It is believed that it was built at the end of the 10th century. Few vestiges remain inside the hermitage, but remains of paintings can still be seen in the apse.

Sant Quirze de Besora is a picturesque municipality in the Osana region located on the banks of the Ter river. It has a beautiful old town formed around its parish church, which dates from the 10th century but was later reformed.

Fantastic castle that is worth visiting

It appears for the first time in documents from 1285, appearing as a fortified house that would later be called a castle. At first it was known as Colobrer castle and later, Montesquiu. Its origin is probably in the enclave where there was a guard tower that Count Guifré (el Pilós) ordered to be built in the 11th century. In the 14th century it was converted into a fortified residence and in the 16th century the castle was enlarged and fortified. However, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it was reformed to give it the appearance it has today.
