The nerve center of Olost is Plaça Major, where the parish church and the town house are located. From this point the core is structured, both old and now. Among the streets built over the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, to the west of Plaça Major, you can count Carrer Berga, one of the longest in the town, Carrer Gelada, Carrer Nou and Carrer de Sant Adjutori, located in the ridge It also has the Raval del d'Olost, with preserved houses in Raval del Mig and Raval de Baix streets. In these older streets you can see houses framed with stone masonry walls that retain dated lintels indicating construction dates of the 17th and 18th centuries. We recommend going up to the viewpoint of Sant Adjutori, where there is the hermitage and hill from where you can observe beautiful panoramic views of the town and the mountains on the horizon that enclose the Lluçanès plateau: from the agricultural and forest landscape from Lluçanès to Montserrat, passing through the eastern Pyrenees in the north. https://turisme.llucanes.cat/municipi/olost/ https://turisme.llucanes.cat/visiteu/esglesia-santa-maria-olost/

The castle of Olost is located in a hollow – therefore in a not very strategic situation – next to the stream of Olost and to the south of the town of Olost and very close to its main nucleus, although it belongs to the municipality of Oristà. The castle arose in the 11th century after the disappearance of the castle of Oristà. It started as just a watchtower with a rectangular plan. Later on, it became a castle, although it was never a defense fortress but rather a stately residence bringing together feudal possessions. Of the old building, the tower and the Gothic chapel are currently preserved. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell_d%27Olost
