Manresa

Manresa straddles the Cardener River in central Catalonia, and its position on a historic inland route helped establish it as a trading and religious centre. Above the old quarter, the Gothic Basilica of Santa Maria de la Seu overlooks the river; its construction began in the 14th century. Manresa is also closely linked to Ignatius of Loyola, who lived here in 1522–23, and the Cave of Saint Ignatius remains an important destination on the Camino Ignaciano. The surrounding Bages area is marked by vineyards and the serrated outline of Montserrat to the south. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Manresa and central Catalonia.
