Castillo de Santa Oliva

Highlight • Castle

Very well preserved castle, located on the top of a small hill, on the outskirts of the municipality of Santa Oliva. The architectural complex, made up of two towers, was initially built to defend against Muslim rule.

Arcs Aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

The remains of an aqueduct from the late Roman period (4th or 5th century) are preserved near the Arcs farmhouse. Three sections remain standing, a group of three arches of 12.7 meters, a solitary arch, and another group of two arches, which is 8.7 meters. The height of the aqueduct is about 4 meters. It is built with local stone bound with mortar.

It seems that it was used to supply water to a large Roman villa located where the Arcs farmhouse is now. It is of particular interest given the scarcity of remains of this type in Catalonia.

Fountain and washhouses of the Bassa Gran

Highlight • Structure

In this old laundry room where the neighbors came to wash their clothes there is now a pond and a fountain, along with a wooden picnic table. Shelters for amphibians typical of the area have been installed on the raft. It is an ideal place to rest and cool off in the shade.

Coll d'Arca

Highlight • Mountain Pass

This port has two slopes, Juncosa del Montmell and Aiguaviva. Both are hard, with percentages of more than 10%, but the one that comes from Juncosa is the hardest thanks to its hard final section of 17%, with two horseshoe curves in a row that do not allow any rest. It allows to connect both the Bisbal del Penedès and Rodonyà with Aiguaviva and the road from Sant Jaume dels Domenys to the Plana de Manlleu.

Castle of la Bisbal del Penedès

Highlight • Castle

Very few elements remain of the original castle: large semicircular arcades that belonged to the ground floor of the castle, the coat of arms of the Salbà lords, whose presence has been documented since 1330, a pointed archway on the upper floor or two windows.

The square in front of the original location of the castle was created by destroying the houses that were there. It was the same feudal lord, Guillem Salbà, in 1330, who burned and destroyed them to appease a peasant rebellion.
