Highlights
  • Parc de la Sequia - Explore the history of the Sèquia canal and get exclusive access to the church of Sant Iscle and Santa Victoria!

Start your journey at l’Agulla park, where you can take in stunning views of Montserrat from the shores of l’Agulla lake and learn about its origins. Follow the path along the medieval La Sèquia canal, which stretches 24.5 kilometers with a mere ten-meter incline, facilitating the growth of Manresa and the agricultural development of much of the Pla de Bages.

Looking for an unforgettable adventure? Wander through temples, fortifications, hydraulic structures, farmhouses, and natural areas shaped by water, offering insights into the heritage of this inland region, the heart of Catalonia.

  • Manresa - More about Sant Iscle and Santa Victoria

This 11th-century Romanesque building once served as the ancient chapel of the castle for miles around. Inside the temple, until 1936, there was a 16th-century altarpiece by Pere Mates, parts of which are now housed in the castle rooms. A Gothic cross and some 16th-century silver censers are also preserved.
