Museu Comarcal de Manresa

Along the visit through the rooms of the museum you will find some objects that approach us to the history of Manresa and El Bages and to the people who have lived here. Explaining this history through the objects and artworks which have been protagonist is one of the aims of this exhibition.

In the visit through the rooms you can find a place where we introduce two punctual and significant moments of this history: the stay of Saint Ignatius of Loyola in Manresa in 1522, that at the same time, shows us a step to the world of Renaissance and the “Batalles del Bruc” (Battles of El Bruc), from June in 1808, in the setting of the Napoleonic wars, which are an achievement in the transition of the XVIIIth century to the XIXth C.
