Cultural heritage of Montseny
Diverse civilizations in the natural space
The cultural heritage of Montseny is a treasure that is intertwined with the history and geography of this region. Among its oldest elements, we find the megaliths of the Sierra del Arca, in Aiguafreda, and the remains of the Iberian wall of Montgròs, in El Brull. These structures tell silent stories of past civilizations, of cultures that left their mark in stone and earth.
The most medieval Montseny also stands on its watchtowers as sentinels of history. The stones, worn by centuries of wind and rain, still whisper the echoes of ancient settlers. The Romanesque churches, modest and devout, are scattered throughout the territory as guardians of the faith. Their bell towers, raised towards the sky, seem to touch the clouds. And in the last century, modernism infiltrated villages like La Garriga, where the facades of bourgeois residences glitter with art nouveau details. Thus, between the ancestral stone and the curved lines of the present, Montseny weaves its history into a tapestry of beauty and memory.
To explain how the different settlers have inhabited the territory, the museums become the center of conservation, dissemination and research of the cultural heritage of the Montseny massif. And in the villages, the squares and social centers come alive during the events: folk dances, medieval markets, storytelling in the heat of the bonfire. Thus, between the quiet of the museums and the effervescence of the festivities, the Montseny reveals its ancient and eternal soul.
