Pont Nou de Manresa

Highlight • Bridge

Pont Nou de Manresa is one of the best-preserved medieval bridges in Catalonia, built at the beginning of the 14th century under the direction of the Barcelona architect Berenguer de Montagut, who also designed La Seu and Carme churches. It is a Gothic structure bridge that has a structure of eight semi-circular arches made of stone ashlars and with a completely flat track.
Until the construction of the Pont Nou, there was only one bridge over the Cardener river on the edge of the city of Manresa, which became known as Pont Vell. Due to the growing economic and commercial weight of the city, and its situation as a communications node within the road network of Central Catalonia, the construction of a new bridge must have been considered important. In this way, Lleida's rural road would be provided with a stable crossing over the river. On March 1312, King James the Fair granted the city of Manresa the construction of a new bridge.
In 1939 the retreating republican army blew up three of its arches, which were redone in 1940. During 2015, rehabilitation and structural reinforcement works were carried out on part of the bridge, and in 2022 they finished the restoration work on the other side.

Sant Ignasi Cave

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cave of Saint Ignatius is one of Manresa's most emblematic sites, a sanctuary commemorating Ignatius of Loyola's stay during his spiritual retreat. The grotto, now a chapel, is notable for its alabaster reliefs and the traditional markings attributed to the saint, while the complex includes a Baroque church and a Neoclassical convent that enhance the visit. It is the final destination for those following the Ignatian Way.

Pont Vell de Manresa

Highlight • Bridge

The Old Bridge of Manresa (Pont Vell) is one of the city's most emblematic monuments and forms part of its most distinctive skyline, along with the Basilica of La Seu and the Cave of Saint Ignatius.
Of Roman origin, the current structure is a faithful reconstruction of a 12th-century medieval bridge.
It was destroyed in 1939 during the Civil War and rebuilt between 1960 and 1962 by architect J. Pons Sorolla.

Agulla Park, Manresa

Highlight • Lake

Located on the northern edge of the town of Manresa, the Parc de l'Argulla marked for us the end of the Catalunya Trail. This was a great place to end a ride and stop by the bar for a celebratory beer, with plenty of room for bikes and without having to navigate the urban traffic. We even followed the GR3 route straight there which was traffic-free along the river.

Parque de l'Agulla

Highlight • Lake

The Parque de l’Agulla is a natural space located on the outskirts of Manresa, near the municipalities of Sant Fruitós de Bages and Santpedor. The park was born with the construction of the lake of l’Agulla between 1966 and 1974. The lake has a surface area of about 64,000 m2 and a capacity close to 200,000 m3. Its main source of water is the Sèquia de Manresa canal, of medieval origin.
