MANRESA

This city, located in the heart of Catalonia, has a marked spiritual character. It’s not without reason, and as well as the yearly commemoration of the mystery of the Light which put an end to the city’s excommunication, Manresa is also the final point of the route which follows in the steps of San Ignacio de Loyola, who discovered his vocation right here after a divine revelation on the banks of the River Cardener. With remains of the Mediaeval and Gothic city, such as La Seu, Manresa also boasts historic heritage of a Baroque style, linked to the track left by San Ignacio, founder of the Jesuit community and of a rich Modernist and industrial past with a set of buildings, museums and elements associated with this period. The city that inspired San Ignacio de Loyola
