Routes and itineraries

An unmissable visit is the house of Rafael de Casanova, the birthplace, in 1660, of the head councillor of Barcelona and hero in the city’s defence during the siege by the Bourbon troops in 1714. 

Another perfect way to spend the day is a trip to the castle of Balsareny, an extremely well-preserved construction from the 14th century, a good example of a Gothic fortress. Rising up from hill over the river, today it is easily visible from the highway Eix del Llobregat. 

The castle of Sant Vicenç de Cardona is another fascinating site. On top of a hill that dominates the valleys of Salina and Cardener, there stands the castle of Cardona, a fortress containing the church of Sant Vicenç, a perfect example of Catalan Romanesque architecture. It is considered to be one of the most important medieval fortresses in Catalonia. The complex’s highlights include the 11th-century Torre de la Minyona (Maiden’s Tower), which is 15 metres high and over 10 metres in diameter, and the Romanesque church of Sant Vicenç. 

The Toll Caves, a geologic formation that conserves vestiges of fauna from the Quaternary Period and of humans since the Epipaleolithic. A geological formation inhabited since prehistoric times. The Toll Caves represent one of the most important prehistoric sites, not only in the county of Moianès but in all of Catalonia. They are located over the Torrent Mal stream in the municipality of Moià. The Toll Caves complex is formed by a group of caverns, among which the Toll Cave stands out, shaped like a big “T” with two exits and a 158-metre visitable space. Part of its interior is filled with sediments, dragged in by the stream, which mix with the remains of humans and animals who have lived there during the last hundred thousand years. 

Artés and Moià are two more places that are great for going on walks. You can also go for a walk or a drive to Monistrol de Calders, the Tosca waterfall, Vilarassau, Sant Miquel d’Oló, Santa Maria de l’Estany and Sant Joan d’Oló. Or take a trip to the Sant Fruitós equestrian centre or visit the Cim d’Àligues, a centre specialised in birds of prey.
