The Culla Cross

The Culla Cross dated from 1413, is located near the farmhouse of the same name and marks the entry point to the city when coming from Barcelona. In the sixteenth century, when Ignatius of Loyola was in Manresa, the Culla family was one of the richest. According to tradition, Ignatius would go there to ask for alms as well as spending time praying and meditating at the foot of the cross. It is also said that he might have had other visions or revelations at this site.

The former farmhouse is now the Head Quarters of the Regulatory Council of the Pla de Bages Denomination of Origin as well as being used to teach school children about the environment and the agricultural world.
