Castellcir Castle
This impressive castle, also known as Popa Castle, rises majestically on a rocky outcrop in the Sauva Negra massif. Built around the year 1014, it had a defensive function and served to control the valley’s activity. Today, its ruins allow visitors to imagine what the fortress looked like in its prime.
Church of Sant Martí de la Roca
Located near Castellcir Castle, this 13th-century church was renovated in later periods, although it is currently in ruins. Nevertheless, its natural surroundings and historical significance make it a worthwhile stop for visitors.
Church of Santa Coloma Sasserra
First mentioned in documents from the year 939, this medieval church is located north of the Penyora residential area. Despite being renovated several times, especially in the 17th century, it still retains its original charm and stands as a living testimony to the region’s past.
Sauva Negra Spring
Located south of Santa Maria Saval, this spring is one of Moianès’ most unique natural features. Known for its sulfurous waters, it’s the perfect spot to take a break during the route and enjoy the peace of the forest.
Chapel of Our Lady of Pilar
This small and simple chapel stands next to the Talladella farmhouse. Originally dedicated to Saint Joseph, it was later consecrated to Our Lady of Pilar. Its rectangular structure and location in the heart of nature make it a charming place to visit.
Pou Cavaller
Also known as Poua de la Torrassa, this old ice well is located within the Penyora urbanization. Although in ruins, it’s an interesting reminder of how ice was preserved in ancient times before the advent of modern refrigeration.
Church of Santa Maria de Castellcir
Unlike older churches, this one was built in 1962 to meet the growing population’s needs in Castellcir. Located in the town center, it remains a religious reference point for local residents.
Church of Sant Andreu de Castellcir
Documented since 1032, this church is dedicated to the apostles James, John, and Andrew. It has undergone several renovations, especially in the 17th century, but still retains many original elements, making it a must-see on this historical route.
