Documented for the first time in 962, it was listed as a monastic house dependent on the Ripoll monastery and since the 12th century it had housed a community of Benedictines. Practically nothing remains of the primitive Romanesque church, since in 1541 a mob of Frenchmen burned down the town, leaving the monastic house and the church collapsed. The church was rebuilt in 1567, becoming the property of the Barcelona Cathedral. In the following years he carried out various renovations, including the addition of an altarpiece by the Milanese painter Joan Baptista Toscano and various images by the Catalan baroque artist Agustí Pujol. In successive centuries the church was expanded and in the 1950s, after the damage suffered during the civil war, the sgraffito exterior that can be seen today was painted.

The Museu Molí Paperer de Capellades is a museum dedicated to the paper industry, located in the town of Capellades, in the Catalan region of l'Anoia. The museum occupies the old premises of a paper mill, called Molí de la Vila, which preserves the structure of the paper mills of the 18th century. Next to the building there is an artificial lake fed by a water source, known as the "bassa" and which is fed by the Carme - Capellades aquifer. The museum explains the history of papermaking, and preserves original tools for manual papermaking. In fact, in its underground premises paper is still made with these artisanal techniques.

The Capellades prehistoric park is a cultural facility located in the Cinglera del Capelló, the cliff on which the town of Capellades sits, in the Catalan region of l'Anoia. This area, in addition to its geological and landscape value, has great archaeological value, due to the presence of around twenty sites from various periods. The cliff itself is one of the park's attractions. Its origin is in the action of carbonated waters that, by fossilizing plant colonies, form fall travertines, a type of fossil waterfall that is locally called "capellons". Its growth formed cornices, grottoes and caves that were used as shelter by groups of prehistoric settlers. One of these caves constitutes the best preserved Paleolithic archaeological site in the complex, known as "l'Abric Romaní", used as a refuge by groups of Neanderthals and which has been excavated since 1983.

This fountain is located on a road very frequented by road cyclists, since it is located in a section whose passage is mandatory if you go to or come from Sant Quintí de Mediona, Canaletes, Sant Joan de Mediona or Capellades. The water that flows from the pipe is very fresh and tastes good, and it is not uncommon to find people filling jugs. If you politely ask to be able to fill your drum, you can skip the "turn" and thus continue your route well supplied with water.

Ruins of an Elizabethan barracks, occupied by the Carlists. Only a section of wall and a tower remain. The interior has been converted into a cemetery. It is interesting from a historical point of view.

Tradition says that Quintí was the son of a Roman senator. The church of Rome sent him to evangelize the Amiens area, but during the trip Quintí was beheaded. His head was thrown into the River Somme along with his body, with a stone tied to his feet. Years later, through the prayer of a blind woman, the body of Sant Quintí emerged from the water and restored the woman's sight. Although nothing remains of the original Romanesque building, in the current building we find signs of some ancient temple.

It is a narrow concrete bridge, but wide enough for a bicycle to pass, with a metal railing. Connect the road to Can Catasús with the Bitlles road to Sant Pere de Riudebitlles.
