Folgueroles

Built around the parish church of Santa Maria, Folgueroles grew into a small town on the Plana de Vic, where inland Catalonia meets the foothills of the Guilleries massif. The settlement is closely associated with Jacint Verdaguer, the 19th-century poet and a central figure of the Catalan Renaixença, who was born here in 1845. His birthplace is now the Casa Museu Verdaguer, giving the town a direct link to Catalan literary history. Compact streets and the open plain evoke the rural setting that shaped Verdaguer’s early life, while the nearby hills signal the change towards the Guilleries.
