Manresa 1522. Ignatius' city (former convent of the Preachers)
Installed in the arcades of the former cloister (currently the Conservatory Theatre), the
interpretation centre, Manresa 1522 shows what the city was like in the early sixteenth
century when the future founder of the Society of Jesus came to visit it. It also offers an
overview of all the main places in the capital of the Bages region which still preserve the
memory of Ignatius’ legacy. It also exhibits some original objects that come from places
which Ignatius saw and got to know directly while he was in the city, such as the Convent
of the Preachers and the former El Carme church.
