Chapel of Santa Susanna
Highlight • Religious Site
Chapel with a single nave or single floor. In its beginnings it had a cruise at the entrance and not at the end as usual. It is attached to the wall of Can Rius and the Museum of History or former hospital. Formerly on one side of the cruise there was a small raised gallery which was entered through the spa.
The structure is the traditional masonry load-bearing walls in buildings of this type (chapels), with the structure of the wooden roof.
The composition of the main or west facade is very simple, with a central axis of symmetry. Despite the numerous modifications throughout history, it is still possible to identify the structure of the wall and the device. The device is of small dimensions and simple factory.

Romanesque Bridge of Caldes de Montbui
Highlight • Bridge
The bridge consists of two semicircular arches of different widths, supported by a central pillar and two lateral abutments that link it to the banks of the stream. The largest arch, on the left hand side looking upstream, is the one that saves the passage of water. The arch on the right is smaller and is located on a rocky shelf at a higher level than the level of the torrent bed. Above the central pillar, between the two arches there is an opening crowned with a small semicircular arch that acts as a discharge arch while giving slenderness and reducing the resistance of the bridge to the passage of water in case of large flows.
The oldest documentation of the bridge dates back to the year 1226.
