Tips from the Community
The monastery of Santa Maria de l’Estany is one of the great ensembles of Catalan Romanesque art. The church, consecrated in 1133, stands out for its sobriety and for the elegant dome that crowns the crossing. But the great treasure is in the cloister: its 72 capitals depict religious and profane scenes, among which those of the Last Supper and the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem stand out.

Between fields and forests appears the church of Santa Eugènia de Relat, a small parish with over a thousand years of history. Although it was greatly transformed in the Baroque period, it still retains its Romanesque bell tower and the characteristic Lombard arcades, one of the most recognizable features of Catalan Romanesque. The surroundings invite you to stop for a few minutes, enjoy the silence, and contemplate how this corner has remained almost unchanged while the Bages landscape continues to mark the rhythm of the seasons.

The old bridge of Avinyó is a Gothic-style bridge that crosses the Relat stream in Avinyó, in the Catalan region of Bages. There is mention of it in 1427, when it was damaged by an earthquake, and it is likely that it was built in the 14th century, as a key link in the livestock route that linked Penedès and Cerdanya. It is a Gothic bridge of the "donkey's back" type, or sloping, since as we approach the central arch the convexity of its profile increases. The bridge is made up of three arches of unequal measurements and placed asymmetrically, adapting to the characteristics of the terrain.
