An interesting place for its history The Queralt sanctuary is located in the Queralt mountain range, at an altitude of about 1,200 metres.

The archaeological site of Sant Amanç de Viladés is made up of a Roman villa, an early medieval settlement and some remains from the Iberian period. The entire site is located on the southern side of a mountain range, crossed by the C-25 road in the section that goes from Rajadell to Calaf and which divides the whole into two parts: north and south. The importance of the Roman town of Rajadell is understood by the presence of a Roman road that connected the lands of the Manresa sector with those of Calaf and Prats de Rei (ancient Roman municipality of Sigarra). The route of this road had to necessarily follow the Rajadell stream very closely as it passed through the Roman town. Passing through this place is the most suitable for moving between the Bages and Anoia regions, as indicated by the Peric oratory, located at the foot of the N-141g and parallel to the Eix Transversal C-25. The appearance that the site has now corresponds to the plan of the Low Empire. Currently the road crosses the Roman site and divides the remains of the Roman villa into two sectors. The northern sector corresponds to the residential area or pars urbana, with an elongated structure, where the noble rooms and the set of terms are located. The southern sector is on flatter terrain and was intended for agricultural work, especially wheat and vines (pars rustica). At the western end of the villa there were bathrooms, characterized by different air-conditioned spaces, with areas of hot, warm and cold water and with the oven to heat the whole. The main body of the residential area consists of three rooms, one of which preserved a polychrome mosaic. The original is in the Museu Comarcal de Manresa, and a reproduction of part of it can be seen at Rajadell Town Hall.

Nestled in the majestic Sierra de Queralt, the Sanctuary of Queralt is a place of spiritual tranquility and natural beauty. Located around 1,200 metres above sea level, this sanctuary combines centuries of history and faith. When you stand here, you are not only looking at an impressive architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Catalonia, but also at a witness to the times. The original sanctuary was built in the 14th century, and although the current church dates back to the 18th century, you can feel the centuries-old reverence and deep spirituality that surround this place. The view from up here is simply breathtaking. The panorama stretches far across the Catalan landscapes, and amidst this silence, you almost feel as if time has stood still. If you are looking for a place where history, faith and nature blend harmoniously, then the Sanctuary of Queralt is an absolute must on your hiking route through Catalonia.

These are the old factories and houses of Cal Rosal. In 1858, they were one of the most important textile colonies. Today, you can still appreciate the magnitude of the buildings on the banks of the Llobregat River.
