Museums and Monuments

Do you know where the things we consume every day come from? Do you know how they’re made or done, and by whom? How is the copper wire that brings electricity into our homes manufactured? How does water reach our taps? Where does the cement used to build your home come from? How about the clothes you wear and the spaghetti you eat? Six museums in the counties of Barcelona explain the inner workings of everyday things. Is your curiosity piqued??

The abundance of water is one of the defining features of Capellades, a town nestling on the right bank of the Anoia River. Water carved escarpments where Neanderthals lived in prehistoric times. Much later, from the 17^th century onwards, several paper mills were built along the river to take advantage of the plentiful flow of water. Still today, the same water attracts many visitors, keen to discover the wells, springs, lavoirs and reservoirs spread throughout this medium-sized town. Do you know the main attractions of one of the unmissable tourist destinations in Barcelona’s counties?

Following in the footsteps of Bishop Oliba a thousand years after his appointment as Bishop of Vic has encouraged us to explore other Romanesque gems in the area surrounding Barcelona, because there’s always some secret left to discover. If we had a protractor, the city of Vic would be at the centre of its base, just a few kilometres from places where Romanesque heritage blends into beautiful nature.
