Attractions and Places To See around La Molsosa - Top 20

The ascent to the castle and observatory of Castelltallat is one of the cycling classics of this sparsely populated area. In this mountain range there are only a few farmhouses, which contributes to the low light pollution and makes the installation of an observatory ideal. On the ascent, the views of Montserrat are spectacular.

A must-see cultural visit to the region, along with other Romanesque towns and monuments. In my opinion, the best thing about this monastery is its layout and the views from the outside.

I grew up there, long before the observatory and the archaeological works at the Castle. When we were little, it seemed to us that the idea that there was a castle behind the church was a chimera. When it was brought to light, it seemed like magic.

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.

Source of fresh drinking water at the foot of the road and next to the Monastery of Sant Ramón, a frequent place of passage for the brevets of Calaf, Tàrrega and Fuliola.

The passage through Sant Ramon is a classic between Tàrrega and Calaf, with a gentle ascent. Right in front of the Monastery you will find a fountain, or if you prefer a bar with good sandwiches.

Very close to the Geographical Center of Catalonia.
