La Vall de Bianya has served as a mountain passage in Catalonia since Roman times. In the Garrotxa comarca, its scattered hamlets occupy wooded valleys in the foothills of the Pyrenees, shaped by the Riera de Bianya and routes leading towards Olot. The Roman road of Capsacosta, traditionally associated with the Via Annia, recalls the area’s long importance as a corridor across the hills. Romanesque churches, including Sant Salvador de Bianya, add a strong medieval presence to this largely rural municipality of farms, forests and small settlements.
