Montserrat (180 Km) www.grandtourcatalunya.com ITINERARY 5 BERGA - MONTSERRAT (180 KM) Regions: Berguedà / Solsonès / Bages 1. Berga To see An excellent starting point for Itinerary 5 is the town of Berga (16,500 inhabitants) which is the capital of the Berguedà region. It is located in the middle of the region and is the centre and axis of all its economic, social life and communications. The river Llobregat is born to the north of this region (near Castellar de n’Hug there are the sources of the Llobregat River) and is its backbone. This region has an impressive geological level di- fference. On the northern back of Berga, the scenery is pure geology: mountain ranges, mountains, peaks, hills, ravines full of forest, with heights ranging from 1,200 m to 2,400 m. It is very suitable for a contemplative visit of nature in its wildest, free and fiery state. On the other hand, in the south of Berga there is a plain with low rolling hills, down the Llobregat River which is the back of the medal. When arriving in Berga the first thing that we suggest doing is to go up to the Sanctuary of Sta. Maria de Queralt. The road passes through the shady part of the Queralt Mountain full of wild pine forests and is delightful. Once up the panoramic view is magnificent: to the north we will see a colossal amphitheatre of mountains and to the south the smooth and rolling plain of the Valley of the Llobregat. Unforgettable. The Sanctuary is a religious referent for the whole region. Once returned to the city of Berga, you can take the route called “a walk around Ber- ga” that offers a circular route through the old quarter of the city that was born in the 12th Century at the foot of its castle. In the month of June, a festival called La Patum is celebrated, declared Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005, which is a popular ritual festival of fire, dance and pyrotechnics reminiscent of ancient, mythical (spring regene- ration), historical (struggles of Moors and Christians) and religious (celebration of Corpus Christi) celebrations. For more information visit the Town Hall website: www.ajberga.cat. The mines of Cercs Take the C 16 north to Cercs. At Km 107.4 we will turn off after the Cercs Power Station in the direction of Sant Corneli on the BV4025 (4.5 km) and Fígols road. There we recom- mend a visit to the Museum of the Mines of Cercs and the visit by tram in the Mine of St. Romà. 1/7 www.grandtourcatalunya.com The northern or pre-Pyrenean part of the Berguedà was known in the past to be the lar- gest lignite mining in Catalonia. After almost 150 years of mining coal, all the mines were closed down in 1977 because of their low economic profitability (lignite was generally of low calorific value). Now you can visit the Museum and a mine transformed into centres of interpretation of this human activity so important in another time for the region. Re- commendable. It is a good lesson in social and economic history of the Industrial Revo- lution in the 19th Century. Accommodation HCC Hotel Ciutat de Berga (Berga)*** 2. Sant Llorenç de Morunys To see You will continue your itinerary along the B 4241 from Berga in the direction of St. Llo- renç de Morunys and you will enter the Region of El Solsonès. This road in the words of Josep Pla is: “… one of the most beautiful and impressive in the country, a road that sticks in the pre-Pyrenean belt. It offers a continuous display of beautiful landscapes, superb panoramas, impressive ascents and descents “. You will arrive in St. Llorenç de Morunys which is a typical old highland village and has gone from being a remote and closed place to being a ski resort and mountaineering of great volume. It has two sensational charms: One is the geographical environment: at its back the Port del Comte in gigantic shapes (with a ski resort), facing the steep and sloping cliffs of the Serra de Bastets and the imposing Serra de Busa and down at its feet the dam of the Llosa del Cavall, fed by the River Cardener, which flows down towards the Valley of the Lord facing south; The other charm is the Monastery of St. Llorenç de Morunys (10thCentury) and the baroque chapel of the parish church of St. Llorenç, ex- ceptional work and the last great work of Catalan Baroque (18th Century). You will be amazed to see these lost jewels in a place so remote, cold, inhospitable, mountainous and ambushed. A marvel. If you have a little more time, it will be stimulating to escape to the Sources of the river Cardener, which are located one kilometre from the village of La Coma (the C 462), in an idyllic spot at 1,050 m altitude. You can check it out! For more information visit the Town Hall website www.ajuntamentdesantllorencdemorunys.org Sanctuary of El Lord To contemplate in all its majesty and infinity the Valley of Lord going up to the Sanctuary of El Lord, a privileged and fascinating pulpit is a must do. Take the LV 4241 and in about 3 km you will find the indicator of the Sanctuary. Follow this asphalted track to a dead 2/7 www.grandtourcatalunya.com end. Leave the car there and climb up the stepped stone path. There are some people who claim that on clear days, one can see up to the region of Tarragona. The panoramic view is majestic, abrupt, broken, wooded and infinite. You can alternatively go down the forest path to retrieve the car. Everything is within walking distance. If you do, we can almost say that you will repeat it sooner or later! Accommodation Hotel El Monegal (St. Llorenç de Morunys) ** Hotel Piteus (St. Llorenç de Morunys) * 3. Solsona To see From St. Llorenç de Morunys you will take the C 462 that runs along the dam of La llosa de cavall, of emerald waters, until crossing the dam and following a good stretch the course of the river Cardener. It will lead you to Solsona, capital of the region of Solsonès. Solsona It is a small town (9,000 inhabitants) but cosy, quiet and sunny. With remnants of walls and entrance towers to the old town which is a labyrinth of streets with two important squares: the Plaça Major and the plaça of St. Joan, with huge mansions of well carved stone and quiet and peaceful corners. It is rewarding to walk and virtually relive its past. Despite its small size, it is an episcopal Seat and has an imposing cathedral (12th Century) that is of gothic nave without co- lumns and Romanesque apses. It has a baroque chapel dedicated to the Mare de Déu del Claustre, Virgin patron of Solsona. In the episcopal palace is the Diocesan Museum which is a good complement to that of Vic with respect to Romanesque, Gothic and Ba- roque (among others). For more details visit the Town Hall website: www.ajsolsona.cat. Castellvell Once in Solsona, do not forget to climb this old castle fortress located on the top of a hill visible from all over the city to enjoy a panoramic view of much of the Solsonès. Built initially in the 11th Century, it belonged to the powerful house of the Folc Viscounts of Cardona. It has a lovely Gothic chapel. It is a magnificent balcony to contemplate the whole south of the Solsonès wavy mosaic of woods and fields of cultivation. 3/7 www.grandtourcatalunya.com Olius. Church of Sant Esteve and crypt. Modernist cemetery of Bernardí Martorell From Solsona you have to take the opportunity to escape to this unique place. You will not regret it. Take the C 26 until you find an indicator on the left. This Romanesque church dates from the 12th Century and its crypt is simply fascinating in proportion, simplicity, beauty and rusticity. A marvel. Very close there is the famous cemetery desig- ned by the modernist architect Bernardí Martorell, a great example of integration with nature, unique in Catalonia. Accommodation Hotel Sant Roc**** Hotel Freixera**** 4. Cardona To see Now you will continue your itinerary to Cardona. You will have to head back returning to the C 26 road in the direction of Solsona until you reach the C 55 that you will not exit off of until Cardona following the course of the river Cardener and you will have entered the Bages region. Cardona itself needs no presentation. Its presentation card is the impressive castle skyli- ne, which recalls the long medieval history of the very powerful Folc de Cardona family (extinguished in the late 17th Century), closely linked to the possession of the salt mines. Of course, you have to climb the partly reconstructed castle to appreciate and admire the complicated construction of this immense fortress-castle, with its ramps, walls, re- doubts, canonical Romanesque church of St. Vicenç, crypt, mausoleum, ramparts and tower Homage or de la Minyona etc. Now there is a National Parador that gives some life to this impressive castle. Visit the Town Hall website: www.cardona.cat. The salt mine You will get there following the C 55 to reach the local road C 1410z that will take you to the Salina. Already known and exploited by the Romans. It is a very curious geological phenomenon that for centuries, has provided a very abundant deposit of almost pure salt, white with streaks of greenish and reddish colours (magnesium and potassium) and argillaceous.

SANT CLIMENT < RIPOLL. SANTA MARIA Catalonia, land of Romanesque art Catalonia is and always has been receptive to the various artistic styles that have succeeded one another in Europe. Perhaps one of the most profoundly assimilated was Romanesque art, which emerged while Catalonia’s historical personality was taking shape during the height of feudalism. The birth and expansion of Romanesque art took place at a time when the sovereignty of the Counts of Barcelona had been recognised by the other Catalan counts. This unifcation coincided with two other major events. One was the de facto severing of all feudal ties with the French kings who had succeeded the last Carolingians; the other was the expedition to Crdoba (1010), which defnitively quashed the threat of an invasion from Al-Andalus and put the small Muslim-ruled principalities, into which the caliphate had been split up, under the protection of the Catalan counts.

  • Chapter 4. Power with a Name: the Rulers of the March
    210 Power with a Name: the rulers of the March Introduction: ‘public’ power in late-Carolingian Catalonia Ideology: power with a name In the figures of Guifré and Ansulf we have men who held what institutional historians might consider a public authority, delegated from the count as seen in his patronage which gave these men their beneficia or castles. Their authority has titles whose etymology is one of this delegation: the vicarii , local substitutes for the count, and further up, viscounts, deputies for the count; even the counts themselves derived their title from a long-notional companionship with the distant king. These are ideas of power external to the March itself, imported with the Franks, if not, as in a few cases like the vague office of saio or the Code-backed one of judge, with the Visigoths. 1 They are structures which the historian of other areas coming to Catalonia will recognise; and so did the kings, for they appeared in royal documents. 2 They provide a template of administration for the area. 3 All the same one is entitled to ask what it was that they meant, in this local environment where the king was absent. Until 878 at least, the kings of the Franks had chosen the counts of the March, albeit from a decreasing pool of possible candidates. With the council of Troyes in 878 and Guifré the Hairy’s succession with his brother Miró to the 1 See Chapter 2 above, pp. 107-113. 2 E. g. Cat. Car. II ap.

  • Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100
    Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 1 ©2021 Adam Christopher Matthews All Rights Reserved 2 Abstract Law, Liturgy, and Sacred Space in Medieval Catalonia and Southern France, 800-1100 Adam Christopher Matthews With the collapse of the Visigothic kingdom, the judges of Catalonia and southern France worked to keep the region‘s traditional judicial system operable. Drawing on records of judicial proceedings and church dedications from the ninth century to the end of the eleventh, this dissertation explores how judges devised a liturgically-influenced court strategy to invigorate rulings. They transformed churches into courtrooms. In these spaces, changed by merit of the consecration rite, community awe for the power infused within sacred space could be utilized to achieve consensus around the legitimacy of dispute outcomes. At the height of a tribunal, judges brought litigants and witnesses to altars, believed to be thresholds of Heaven, and compelled them to authenticate their testimony before God and his saints. Thus, officials supplemented human means of enforcement with the supernatural powers permeating sanctuaries. This strategy constitutes a hybridization of codified law and the belief in churches as real sacred spaces, a conception that emerged from the Carolingian liturgical reforms of the ninth century. In practice, it provided courts with a means to enact the mandates from the Visigothic Code and to foster stability. The result was a flexible synthesis of law, liturgy, and sacred space that was in many cases capable of harnessing spiritual and community pressure in legal proceedings.

  • TERMINOLOGY USED by CATALAN BASKET-MAKERS Dolores Soriano
    TERMINOLOGY USED BY CATALAN BASKET-MAKERS Dolores Soriano 'I'he Catalan terminology for basketry is different from the Spanish terminology. The Catalan, unlike the Spanish has one special name for each part of the basket. This terminolgy was collected from the Catalan basket-makers all around Zatalonia, in different fields of basket work, during the years 1978, 1979 and 1980. The terminology and the techniques use11 now by the Catalan basket-makers are snown in this report. I. TECHNIQUES OF BASKETRY USED BY CATALAN BASKET-MAKERS. 1. Woven Technique ("Tecnica Teixida" ) . 1.1. Diagonal braiding of two directions ("Diagonal de dues direccions") . Or twilled work. - In this technique each element of the weft passes over one, two or more warp elements. Both warp and weft strands are brought together in pairs and one twined about the other. Use: to make the plaited strand of alfalfa and palmetto Geographical localization: Marseme (Tordera), Baix Ebre (Els Reguers, Beni- fallet, Alfara dels Ports), Baix ~m~ord: ('I'orroella de Montgri) and ~onsi; (~2s de Barberans) . 1.2. Diagonal weave of three directions: triangular weave ("Diagonal composta de tres directions") . The warp is made by a pair of rods, knotted to a hoop of iron with a nylon thread. Each pair is spread at a 45O angle: 'The one on the right runs downwards and the left upwards. One rod goes up spirally to the hoop of iron and is tied to the rest of the warp with a nylon thread, forming a series of triangular structures.
