Group Experiences in Manresa

Visit the Museu del Barroc de Catalunya to see an extensive collection of Catalan Baroque art. The museum is housed in the historic Sant Ignasi College, a building classified as a Cultural Heritage Site. Walk through the museum at your own pace, viewing around 200 art pieces, including paintings, sculptures, altarpieces, and decorative arts from various collections in the country. The museum features works by notable artists of the 17th and 18th centuries such as Joaquim Juncosa, Antoni Viladomat, Andreu Sala, Agustí Pujol, and Francesc Tramulles. See different exhibits combining art with audiovisual presentations, music, and light effects.

Manresa hides history and fascinating secrets beneath the ground. The Interpretation Centre of the Calle del Balç allows you to follow its labyrinth of gateways, cellars, and passages. The centre focuses on the area during medieval times, and specifically on King Peter III. Discover what life in Catalonia was like during the 14th century through multimedia elements.

The Museo del Agua y el Textil de Manresa will get medieval on your mind, taking you back to the 1300s before blasting you back to the future with two permanent exhibitions dedicated to the technological and cultural history of Manresa. The first exhibition is all about water. More specifically, how irrigation from the medieval Séquia de Manresa canal, and the 19th-century water depot – which the museum itself is housed inside – changed the local landscape in a big way, physically and culturally. The second exhibition is a real belter; its main focus is belts. More specifically, it traces the technological, cultural, and aesthetic evolution of belts and other textiles over the centuries.
