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.

The church sits majestically on the rock, towering over the city of Manresa. With a little imagination, one could imagine the church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary as a patron saint—and given the papal honorary title of basilica—as a heavenly crown, majestically proclaiming the praises of God on earth.

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.

The Cathedral of Manresa, officially known as the Basilica of Santa Maria de la Seu, is one of the most emblematic monuments of Catalan Gothic architecture and a historical and spiritual symbol of the city of Manresa, in the heart of Catalonia. Its origins date back to the 9th century, when the first place of worship was built on Puigcardener hill, the site of the city's founding. In the 12th century, a Romanesque church was erected, of which elements such as the tympanum of the doorway, a window, and the cloister are still preserved. Over the centuries, Baroque elements (such as the bell tower and the crypt in the 18th century) and Neo-Gothic elements (such as the façade and the baptistery in the 20th century) were added. The basilica has survived wars and losses of heritage, but continues to bear witness to the history of Manresa.

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.
