Casa de Guanta, a restaurant better known as Castell de Guanta, is a place to have a good breakfast or lunch, in a very quiet and hidden area, on the cliff that forms the Sentmenat stream.

O Casa de Guanta, is a restaurant that is halfway up the forest track in the Guanta area. The real Castle, its remains, are at Roca del Corb, near the house and can be reached by following the Puig Rodó path. Continuing on, you can connect with the Farell road. In the house there is a restaurant called Castell de Guanta where Teresa prepares delicious dishes and breakfasts.

A nice place to visit while out on a hike. The castle has a pretty interesting history and is not very hard to arrive on foot. You cannot really enter because it is all closed up but you can visit from the outside. It is mostly in ruins and would be dangerous to enter.

El Clascar, also known as Bertí's castle, is a building in a ruined state in the municipality of San Quirico Safaja, in the Moyanés region. It belongs to the old rural town of Bertí. It is located at the top of the Cingles de Bertí, very close and at noon to the church of San Pedro de Bertí, in the parish to which it belonged. It is at the eastern end of the municipality of San Quirico Safaja. To its southwest there had been the Can Saloma farmhouse. It is accessed by an old rural road, currently a path, which from San Pedro de Bertí heads south, and in about 650 meters leads to Clascar. By vehicle, the track that allows access leaves from the same place, but turns further east. In 1949 it was classified as a Cultural Asset of National Interest, since its origin is related to a medieval castle.

The castle of Pera, a medieval fortress in ruins, is located at 743 m above sea level on top of a hill between the Roca Sereny and the Baiarols hill. It has origins in the 10th century, at least, due to a citation from the year 978. It passed through the hands of different owners (between the 11th and 14th centuries) until the Sentmenat family owned it until the 19th century. The ruins of Castell de Pera, called the rock castle, still allow you to observe its structure. Its elongated shape from north to south occupies the rocky platform on which it is located. Part of the west wall is still quite intact with two rows of loopholes in front of what is supposed to have been the armory. The central part of the east wall is occupied by the apse of a small Romanesque temple, in which the image of the Virgin of Pera Castle was venerated. Finally, in the western part there are some remains of a vaulted ship, attached to a kind of tower, which contains a cavity from top to bottom and with a square base, which can give rise to several interpretations of what it could have been: cistern, dungeon, silo...
