Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 107 reviews
The Santa Maria Basilica Collegiate of Manresa (the See) is one of the most representative examples of the Catalan Gothic and it is also a symbol and an icon of the Bages district capital. Located at the top of the Puigcardener, it sights the city at its foot from the left side of the Cardener River, at the bottom of the cliff. The See is, without any doubt, the main historical, identity and spiritual reference of all the Manresans. The privileges conceded by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 turned the temple into a Basilica.
