Tips from the Community
The center of Santa Eulàlia de Puig-Oriol belongs to the municipality of Lluçà and is located on the ridge that separates the valley of the Gavarresa river from the valley of the Lluçanès river. The town grew from the first constructions in the 18th century, due to the importance of the transhumance route that connected Sant Feliu Sasserra with Alpens. In many of its houses built between the 18th and 19th centuries you can still read the inscriptions and dates engraved in the stone. At the northern end of the town there is a small parish church in the popular baroque style.

Santa Eulàlia de Pardines dates from the year 915 but nothing really remains of that original church. Most of what we see today was built in the 1790s. This is another very interesting place to visit while hiking in this area.

This doesn't look much like a castle even though that's what it's called. It looks more like a country house and is probably used that way today. It's a wonderful area and this is an interesting building.

Santa Maria de Lluçà is a work from Lluçà (Osona) declared a cultural asset of national interest. It is without a doubt the most remarkable archeological and historical building in Lluçanès. It is located in the municipality of Lluçà, at the foot of the castle. Surrounded by farmhouses, crops, forests and pastures that recall the recent autarkic past of farmhouses. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Maria_de_Llu%C3%A7%C3%A0
