Monistrol de Montserrat entdecken

Santa Maria de Montserrat is a Benedictine abbey founded in 1025 on the serrated mountain of Montserrat, about 48 km north-west of Barcelona, and largely rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries. Its basilica holds the image of the Virgin of Montserrat; a rack railway, a cable car and funiculars link the abbey with the valley and the upper slopes.

The Museu del Barroc de Catalunya is an art museum devoted to Catalan Baroque art, opened in February 2024 in part of the restored 18th-century Jesuit college of Sant Ignasi in Manresa. Its collection grew out of the town museum founded in 1896 and includes altarpiece sculpture and paintings by artists such as Joan Grau and Antoni Viladomat.

The Water and Textile Museum in Manresa occupies the Dipòsits Vells, three stone-vaulted tanks built in 1861–1865 to store water brought by the medieval Séquia canal. Founded in 1992, it has permanent exhibitions on the Séquia and on the town's narrow-fabric ribbon industry, with historic looms and machinery, and offers guided visits.
